I thought the samething but Apple is owned by MS. What I find really strange is MS sales of Vista bombed and even though Vista does get infected. What I find stranger is after applying the sp1 update. I have not had the degree of problems I did at first.
What I also find is funny is no one believes that this is a nasty computer virus because they have not heard anything on the news about it. I guess unless the news tells you then it is not gospel. LOL
Back in May 31, 2008 I got this email BIG VIRUS COMING-CONFIRMED BY SNOPES
Hi All. I checked with Norton Anti-Virus, and they are gearing up for this virus! I checked Snopes and it is for real!! Get this E-mail message sent around to your contacts ASAP.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS!
You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message! With an attachment entitled 'POSTCARD,' regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which 'burns' the whole hard disc C of your computer. This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list. This is the reason why you need to send this e-mail to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times t han to receive the virus and open it.
If you receive a mail called 'POSTCARD', even though sent to you by a friend, do not open it! Shut down your computer immediately.
This is the worst virus announced by CNN. It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp Granted this email does not discribe the the virus we all are fighting, but people did know something big was coming and here it is.
Did anyone listen back then. NO! LOL Well now the virus is here and escalating. I wonder what the internet will be like by the end of the month. My phone has been ringing off the hook from those who did not read the email I sent them a couple days ago. I guess we need to be call the "computer
news media" before people heed our warnings. LOL
I have also noticed my internet access has increased this week. Either fewer people are using the internet "NOT" or they are now infected and no one is online. "Happy surfing" to those who protected their systems and read this forum.
