A virus that is said to infect all computers?!?! Is this true?

Yes. Maybe this article talks about Windows-based computers. On a second thought, 95% of the computers worldwide are said to be Windows-based. So,I think sinowal can infect the MAJORITY of the computers worldwide.

Ya that May be possible but Vista is bit secure and it has many features that prevents virus from getting executed automatically. And upcoming Windows Vienna i guess will be very secure . I follow few tricks to prevent from virus attacks , i dont even use Antivirus ,well my AV license has expired Hope The Av teams will come up with solution for this Virus.. Have A nice day.

True that there is an antivirus tool but I believe sinowal should not be underestimated. According to the article, it uses the rootkit technology which enables this virus to revise itself and form another unique code that is different from its parent file. I think it's something that is worth to be bothered of.

Uh! lucky me, i think i'm protected from that thing called sinowal, i just checked on the microsoft website, i'm on windows live onecare and the anti-virus has been upto date with that.check this article . http://forums.microsoft.com/windowsonecare/showpost.aspx?postID=2669521&siteID=2

When I was in school they taught us about the Millenium bug in 1994. I didn't believe a word of it! If we think about it logically, when a computer counts around to the number 9 it automatically circles back around to 0. The argument was that there would be no extra figure in the number 2000 as with most technological machines there were only 3 digits (ie 000). So, effectively, 99 would just circle around to be 00 which technically would be correct, which is exactly what happened. So, 1999 would have become 2000 anyway and with only 3 digits, as I just stated, 999 would just become 000 and there wouldn't have been a problem anyway, which they soon realized. It just goes to show how technologically minded all these IT professionals really are!
