> + ive never gave anybody a virus .now shush we know its u init ?

Of course it wasn't me. I wouldn't even dream of causing such damage to a computer. The infection method is described in detail on Symantec's site [http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sasser.b.worm.html] - vulnerable computers are randomly targeted and infected by infected computers, operating automatically without even the necessary KNOWLEDGE of the computer owner that this is happening. Therefore, it is not only possible but probable that your *computer* infected other computers before you removed the worm. Note that it was not *you* who did this, but your *computer*. Similarly, your computer was infected not by a person with malicious intent, but by another person's infected computer.

Incidentally, the probability that you were randomly infected by my computer is zero, as my computer was of course not infected, as I had taken suitable measures to protect my computer against such threats before the Sasser worm had even been created.

well whoever caused my p.c to clsoe down pretty often needs a stern word or 2 .so if u get his email address plz pass it onto me .mark my words his days of sending viruses will be over .he likes worms he will get a dozens killer worms through the post .the ones that suck the living daylights out of him.

They have released his info :

But if you got infected, it was your own fault. You should patch your computer as soon as possible (unless you get infected before the patches were available, of course).

Spooky...

Someone must be psychic...

*no pretext*

Reminds me of the flurry of excitement for the first few years when personalised license plates came out. They even had a game show about it for a season. Eventually the novelty died a merciful death.

Personalised licence plates, who would have such a thing?

What is a worry, when somebody puts one of *them* stickers on the windscreen....


"Your licene plate may be worth more than your car!"

*P155 TKR*

That is as maybe, but I have semi-seriously searched for number plates in the format "H 262 xxx"

I keep getting offers of a personalised number plate, H6 *** for example. I don't drive, never have and never will And I have no idea what H6 relates to

there ye go Sam....wear it with pride.....riff raffles

May I say how lovely you look in a tiara. Do you have a matching gown?
