you know Macs are currently being destroyed by viruses
er..if you don't have any anti-virus, can thoroughly recommend getting some, quick..

the virus on the whole shouldn't be too bad if users have auto updates on, the patch has been part of that for a while, and business wise i should hope most places have rolled out the patch already, it's been out for ages

still, will be interesting to see what the worm actually does...

I would love to see a link for that information. Since no virus an be installed on a mac without the user typing in their admin code. So if people start typing in their code, then they pretty much can blame themself for being daft

I just found out that my anti-virus was updated for this virus on 6 march already and that with the simple click of a button i could extra scan for this virus only, nothing found, so im safe

I just read up on it a little bit and from what I understand you're not really at a risk if you always keep your Windows updated!

The guys at Bitdefender (AV software I use) also made removal tool which you can download at:

The description is in english and supposedly it's not one of the sites that the virus blocks.
So if you're ever in need...
