It will shut off your internet connection for a while, and steal your identity.. If it is not a joke.

You could always just turn off all of your equipment and unplug all your cables for the day. Problem solved. Then again might be a April fools joke like google pulls each and every year.

this topic news and everyone ive talked to today got me thinking. microsoft is bad enough to use as a stand alone OS what a turd of an OS it is after 20 + years of being out. Security holes can be found in just about all of the versions they make but people still use their os as the main source to surf and what not. For the fix you have to use their browser to down load the fraking fix throu. Can someone please explain that one to me. With out a one liner detail.

For those of you that need it here you go.

Run the removal tool at MS "warning quite long to read"

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962007

Thought I pass it along to you all.
In case needed print the REMOVAL TOOL now as a precaution if something should happen at least you have it.

Still wondering if its a 01 fools joke Rolling Eyes Wont know till tomorrow.

Wow! I always though moderators took better care of their security because they were more likely to be hacked due to their positions on forums! Rolling Eyes

Do you think staff here are more likely to have their security compromised than ordinary members? Question

I see you're still posting non-relevant replies. Credits removed. Stop doing this. It's not appreciated.
