[kj] (OT) April fool virus

[Brendan Quinn]

Millions of PCs have been infected, it's been pretty successful at
spreading, no one knows what payload it'll drop on those infected PCs
tomorrow. But the media have been good in alerting people so its effect and
spread will be limited. Took off like wildfire originally.

I used this on a couple of machines last month that hadn't been patched.

Here's a reasonable explanation of the current position.

Generally, if you're patched up to date, you're fine.

Anyone know how much of a 'threat' this is? Or is it a media demon?
