*edit*

Idiots.

Yeah, the computers ONLY turn on the virus on April 1st. After that, the computers that dodged it... *WHEW*.

Okay, this virus is a botnet. What it does it infect computers silently, nestles in there hard drive and waits. At a set date, or when it's infected enough computers, it phones home to the virus creator. The computers that have been infected simultaneously send the virus out to other computers and log personal information. Keystrokes and such. And sends it back to the person that created it, basically.

So, this isn't a point on a graph. It's a ray.

You can get it from a computer that's not infected and flash-drive it over.

You're going to have to do it in like the next 40 minutes, though.

Its 8:30 here. And I just checked all the computers in the house and they can all go to microsoft.com. First time my dad let me use his computer :D
