Please watch out for the new Kama-Sutra Computer Virus

[NotATool]

Although I have not been affected, I am hearing of a mass epidemic since the virus was released tonight. In a few hours over 50,000 computers were infected.

Do NOT open any email that is sexually suggestive to prevent this virus from infecting your computer.

 

[pvtbones]

pray tell where you have been hearing of this "mass epidemic"?

 

[Skaadi]

Reminds me of that virus that was sent over msn a while ago. Someone sends you the link "Hey, is this you?" *clicky* and then pr0n downloaded into your computer.

Theres a guy selling a cheese grader on channel 4...
I don't trust his opinions on viruses.

 

[jerkasaur]

no, i heard of this too. anyway, you're not gonna die if you don't open a kamu-sutra e-mail now are you?

 

[JellyWorld]

It's odd, since I was struck by trojans today. hmmmmm. Dunno if it's related to the karma sutra thing. Don't think so though.

 

[CyberPitz]

As long as it's not like the Blaster Worm, which you COULDN'T stop unless you put the fix on. D:

 

[Sulkdodds]

Er, k. D:

[nutcrackr]

Don't you worry I'll keep an eye out for Karma Sutra

 

[Steven]

What does it do?

Makes your computer explode!

 

[Nat Turner]

What does it do?

It turns your computer into a killer robot which then proceeds to destroy your family and eat your chocolate chip cookies.

 

[Dalamari]

Good thing I use gmail

 

[Hullu]

Why would I open a sexually suggestive email anyway?

It was "Nyxem-E" - was meant to erase all word/excel/ppt etc docs on your comp on the 2nd of Feb, turned out to be a bit fo an anticlimax in the end...

And about 300,000 PC were infected

Destroyed many documents from Word, Excel etc

 

[Jangle]

Luckily, I don't have many word or excel documents that I would be bothered about if they got deleted.

edit: eep! All PowerPoint, PDF, PSD and ZIP files as well.

Stern would, he likes that kinda stuff.

 

[UltimaApocalypse]

Ah!!! It's coming to kill me!

 

[DeusExMachina]

Stern would, he likes that kinda stuff.

Someone needs to visit the thread on becoming funny. :dozey:

About 7 years ago when I was just learning how to use the computer and I shared it with my mom, my dad was checking it and I think he found over 2000 viruses or something...

 

[JellyWorld]

7) Singapore - 3%

zOMG cool. Wonder if anyone I know has been hit.

2) Malaysia - 23%

Wow 70,000 computers in a population of 11m is quite a lot.

 

[Uriel]

Someone Needs to visit the thread on How not to be Homosexual. :upstare:

Thank you for the link, my credibility seemed to be at stake.

You got ripped off by even paying for someone to do it. Only reasonable payments would be for AV software.
