Microsoft Virus-like infection..

Post by Dapper Dan »

I was just editing tomorrow morning's news. This is one we will air...

Researchers say tens of thousands of computers have been hit by a virus-like infection. The outbreak prompted government and industry warnings Monday. The virus has already spread rapidly across the Internet, causing computers to mysteriously restart and coordinate an electronic attack against Microsoft. Microsoft offers a free patch on its Web site to protect Windows users vulnerable to infections because of a program flaw. Antivirus company Symantec has developed a tool to clean computers infected by the worm. Another alternative against future computer virus attacks is to migrate toward operating systems like Linux or Mac OSX, both of which are almost completely immune from viruses, worms and Trojan horses.
