April 1st Worm

[woshiibreak]

Norton is flat out, a piece of shit.
It slows down your whole damned computer, & when you try to uninstall it, it just hangs there.

i'm just using Avast cus AVG kept giving me shit, asking me to restart the computer when i've already restarted it over nine thousand times . .
& on several occasions it refused to update & i had to download a fix.
i gave up & decided to go to avast .
TBH i have no idea if Avast's any good.
Though it's stopped me from downloading malwares & shit when i was downloading off Limewire (don't ask, twas my last resort ).

How would the worm spread and infect?

The virus has been out for what, eight months? It's infected millions of computers already, the statistic was something like one out of every three or four computers.

It worked on computers that didn't keep up-to-date with Microsoft security updates. It came from flash drives, so when you tried to open them it would actually open a hidden virus on the computer, spreading it deep enough so that reformatting was the quickest and easiest option for most.

It then spread throughout networks, guessing passwords that weren't very secure (Such as names of pets, things without capitals and numbers, names, dates, etc.) to infect more computers.


They say it's pretty harmless, but they can't find the source which means the botnet is still out there. No telling what it could do, but I am excited to see. I think it's more of a joke/rebellious thing, less harmful than most think.

Genius.

And how exactly will it know when to set the clock?

After it changes from the default time set from the virus.

It'll probably go something like this.

integer clockTime = 1;
while(clockTime>=2)
{
llChangeTime(clockTime,1);
}
while(clockTime=1)
{
llMonitorTime(1);
}

Thats how I'd do it, anyway.

Someone that is around the 35 years old shouldn't be on these forums to mess with kids and share his thoughts if you know what I mean.

I honestly couldn't care less if it ****s up my computer. I need a new one either way
