Anyone here know bout that worm that supposedly affects people mainly from IRC? it can infeect your computer simply by connecting to the internet, causes nothing but reboots...can be really annoying, jes a heads up to the people who dont know.

Someone should stop /remove you nopic Big Grin

When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"

Are you talking about Zotob here?

I don't know of any recent worms that can just do something when you connect to IRC. When you connect to the Internet make sure you have a firewall running, and patched till the lates patches.

Else you probably will get MSblaster, Zotob and all that latest stuff, mainly your own fault because when a virus comes out MS patches like the next day now a days.

It said its easy to remove, but it can also easily infect. Yes, people from IRC are targeted as it is an IRC worm, but it can aldo infect just from logging onto the internet. Im not sure of ALL the details, but be sure to check out ne worm upsdates you can find.

They are scanning your ip range and they find an exploit on your pc. rxbot can do that as well as others.

Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.

Windows updates are NOT dangerous. Viewing bad sites is.
