Virus warning

[Hedawn Omni 1]

I heard that on april 1st a virus will sweep the net and they are warning people to have there sucrerity system updated to protect your comp. Well i hope every members system is updated. To tell the truth is sound a little fishy to me

But it was on the news this morning. If you have any thing to say about this just say it here.

Did you realise that April 1st is April fools?

Even the news plays April fools so it's almost definitely fake.

Republished as a tribute to great British broadcasting for Trig's blog "Aidan Brooks: Trainee Chef" at http://www.aidanbrooks.blogspot.com

In this b&w clip, first broadcast on BBC Panorama on 1st April 1957, a very young Richard Dimbleby revealed the wonderful world of Swiss spaghetti production to millions of deprived and hungry post-war Brits.

The funny part is that he could actually be fooling you guys. I'm talking about the topic starter, of course.

April fools joke most likely

Na i did not belive it. Like i said before it sounds fishy.

It could happen though you never know.

Yeah, I guess it could be real. People might take advantage of people's scepticism around this time of year to release a killer virus like that. But I'm still dubious though and I doubt it's real.

Not to mention that April first is a good day to do something like that.

It's not really even possible, though.

Same here.

But i say it's better to be safe than sorry right.

This means it's not going to happen.

A new virus (or several) could be released, but that's it. It's not going to up your chances of getting one.

who knows what could happen

People who know simple things about how computers and viruses work.

You guys do know that more than a thousand new viruses and bugs are created every day, right? There's a massive possiblity of somebody producing some kind of super-bug that could harm every computer with Internet access.
