Actually.. now just call me iddy. But anyway, I think this will really be wake up call for all those using Windows 2000. Although, I'll admit... for most businesses, the upgrade isn't worth it.

CNN chosse (4)

If you need to tell the world that you have a virus, wow, who cares. Hey everybody guess what I have had a virus too. Big deal? nope. The last time I have seen a guy at wal-mart yell "I HAVE A VIRUS SHUTDOWN YOUR COMPUTER" was, ummmmmm, let me think, never. Tv channel shouldn't be tellling people what they should do with their computers.

So if you have any problems with your computer, EVER the slightest thing, shutdown and walk away. Becasue thats what cnn is doing. By the way, if they tell you to shutdown and update? dosn't you computer have to be on for the update to work, but they really need you to keep your computer off. WINDOWS 99 FOR THE WIN!!

The safest computer is an unpluged computer, if you have no power, no virus. Simple as that, do is do.

I saw this last night... but didn't jump on this bandwagon until now...

Enough's been said. I just find it ironic how little most people know about these systems, even the so called "experts".

What really just ****es me off ( :angry: :angry: ) is how it seems like everyone in the States links anything bad like this to terrorism... COME ON PEOPLE!!!* It's probably some stupid nerd living in his parent's basement who heard about these exploits and wanted to "have fun".

"Oh... there's a new worm out... do you think Al-Qaeda has anything to do with this?" :no:

*Sorry for caps... :pinch:

Worm also wriggled into SBC network

The Zotob worm and its variants have infected computers at San Antonio-based SBC Communications, Visa International, and some major news sites.

At SBC, the nation's second-largest phone company, the worm affected internal computers in call centers late Tuesday, forcing workers to manually enter orders, said Andy Shaw, company spokesman. But SBC installed patches and the computers were fine by Wednesday, he said.

The worm had no effect on voice and Internet customers, Shaw said.

But at Visa's processing headquarters in California on Wednesday, the company sent employees home as it fixed its computers, according to the Red Herring, a technology magazine in Belmont, Calif.

Hahaha, this is one funny thread, "Oh noes run away we got the H4X go down into the nuclear bunkers it's gonna be a long nuclear winter because w3 g0t t3h H4X." - CNN.

By the way: This reminds me when I was playing CS 1.6 a long time ago, in a server full of people talking on microphones like every 10 seconds, and some guy like hacked into my computer and made my top DVD drive open, close, open, close until I finally rebooted. :wacko:

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
