UPDATE: MSM PCs under attack - CNN, NYT, ABCNEWS - It's not Zotob; spreading fast! Update virus defs NOW!
Live on CNN right now ... Most PCs running Win2000 or older are now dead at MSM locations all over NYC, as well as some PCs at CNN Atlanta, and it's spreading.
Suspecting Zotob, but not 100% certain.

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", Like heck am I giving up my freeping.

I stopped two seperate direct intrusion attempts from a server in central communist china yesterday trying to insert a key logger trojan.
The Code-Red virus was also a communist chinese cyber attack that began in earnest in the middle of August 2001 and peaked the morning of September 11, 2001 when it suddenly stopped.
