I've heard of this virus but its a joke... I don't have any antivirus software (mainly because it slows down game performance) and I didn't catch anything. I heard it hit Australia pretty hard though.

I welcome viruses (but don't go out of my way to find them, I actually download things wisely and if I suspect a virus I upload it to symantec's site. It's only amusing when they trick me because I learn from it.)Martyj wrote:Anyone who doesn't have a computer without good anti virus is asking for some serious pain imo.
I back up regularly, and enjoy the occasional challenge. When that doesn't work I just D-BAN my drive, I generally need a good cleaning by then anyhow.
