Warning: The ZOTOB virus

[FUS1ON]

Sounds nasty and is expanding. If you haven't updated your OS's security patches and your A/V program, you need to. According to what they are saying on CNNTV, it's being reported around the world and is shutting down systems and causing computers to shut down and random reboots

Looks like it's infecting Win2k and then looking for other computers to infect.

That's good, thanks. CNN was freaking out on TV yesterday is why I posted this thread. They have several offices in different locations of the world and several of them had been hit and their computers were down.
