CNN's Daniel "Mr. Internet" Sieberg: "Maybe you might want to step away from your computer for a while."

Thirty seconds of blather later: "Oh yeah, you might want to turn it off too."

And that was after CNN's two so-called "Blog Reporters" (read: young female eye candy) pulled up a couple of sites and came to the conclusion that "this isn't anything to worry about."

Meanwhile, CNN's switched all operations to Atlanta because their entire NYC news operation is dead! Bwa-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!

Don't know if it is the same thing or not but I know that Computers at Disney were also hit with a virus today also. I work in Orlando for the mouse and are computers were affected here and also Company wide in all our other locations across the US.

Intresting... My Win2000 Computer here at work is running along just fine, but last night I updated virus definitions at home and then ran virus scan and had to go pick up my son from work. When I got home my computer was off and would not turn back on. I thought it was nothing more than a power supply that had gone out so I went and bought one at lunch time... now am wondering if I have more serious problems??

Ali Veshi on CNN says that this could be something OTHER than Zotob. They are calling it Worm_RBot.CBQ, and saying that this is a NEW virus/worm and potentially more widespread than Zotob or Zotob.A

This guy on CNN just said it might be some new kind of virus rather than the one they originally thought. Somebody even recommended that it might be a good idea for everybody with Windows to just "turn off their computers and take a break for awhile", LMAO!!

Huge trouble is right. This is serious. I am afraid to use messenger or check email, so I just won't.
