owlWhat's this virus that's meant to be activating today? What is it called, what does it do exactly, and, what I most want to know, when was the earliest/most likely date to have been affected by it?
The thing I'm worried about is that we got it while we still had internet, last month, but since we haven't had internet, I obviously haven't been downloading the anti-virus updates. Would it do any good to run a scan with the old (December or January) definitions?
Oh, and to the BBC: what is the point of doing a news item about this on the day it goes off, instead of a week ago, when it might have been of more use?
