Funfact: Set your computer's clock to 2.Apr.2009. It should avoid the activation date of the first.

Make sure that your antivirus program is updated and youll probably be fine. This isnt a hoax and it is a malicious threat

The internet world is ending.... just like in 2000.
Ratts, now we all have to wait for the stroke of midnight - 12/21/2012 to get wacky again. Hmmm, whose midnight?, and what about those that don't use the Gregorian Calendar? You know, it's tough spreading paranoia if your not a media type and have to rely only on the internet. :rolleyes:

Looks like another media hyped bust--the cyber world did not come crashing down this morning!!!!
Wheew--another close one!!! LOL
But--if it takes things like that to get everyone to do those regular updates we all tend to put off--then its a good thing.
I have had viruses on other computers that basically rendered them the equivalent of alien Hulu human brain mush!!!!
I love those commercials!!!

According to sources on our local news, the virus only affected about 6% of the Computers in the US. All of the rest of the infections was overseas.

All my upgrades were for free, so it didn't cost me anything other than some time.

Probably some third world country with antiquated computers will come crashing down.
Mine didn't though! :bigrin:
