I was just talking with my IT guys at work here...
They said it isen't actually a virus, that the hackers were just testing, to see how far this thing would reach. If they wanted to they could attach a virus to the beginning of this. YIKES!
They gave me the patch on a disc, bacasue they did say, in all honesty...i would probably not be able to download the patch before my computer shut down.
Man, this is scary...and microsoft knew about it before this all happened...
Jerks anyway!
