| 760300 | 2009-03-29 21:11:00 | If you have a firewall, the worm may be able to do localised damage, but it should not be able to dial home unless you click allow on the firewall. Windows firewall doesn't count. | utopian201 (6245) | ||
| 760301 | 2009-03-30 05:53:00 | Another example of Y2K frenzy? More activity than actual damage perhaps? | andrew93 (249) | ||
| 760302 | 2009-03-30 06:02:00 | Bearing in mind that those who have dissasembled the code so far have seen a date of April 1 to phone home to one or more of a few thousand url's, I'm not convinced it's paranoia. It may be paranoia to think that all of these infected machines are going to do a denial of service on Pressf1 though. :waughh: |

| 760304 | 2009-03-30 07:41:00 | Yeah upon doing a little more research, its not paranoia... I wonder what kind of damage you could do with 100,000 machines DoS'ing a website / country .. :D | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||

It is supposed to work "on demand" when I try to run an infected file. Nothing against Nod32 BTW. I will test this later. |
