MANY PEOPLE WONDER IF MACS CAN BE AFFECTED BY THIS VIRUS, THE ANSWER IS NO !

Dwyer owned the second computer infected with Elk Cloner

bitdefender ftw

there is a M$ security patch you can download that is supposed to protect you from this worm.

all I've been doing in work so far this week is trying to prevent this....my new life goal is hunting down whoever wrote this worm and lopping their head off with a dull butter knife

my work didn't care until 3pm yesterday and then we all had to scramble.

lol

yeah, I was wfh so that sucked.

i had to patch around 150 servers but i had altiris on my side.
