This virus is a pain in the arse ... my work email account got 1500 emails one day. Though it has been dropping off (~150 day now) it still is pissing me off.

Hang that Perp HIGH!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised in the future if the FBI or CIA hires him for counter-hacking. I believe the people the FBI uses to find people like him were actually computer geeks that liked to these sort of things.

That is probably what they will do. They do that a lot for all sorts of crimes. Look at the movie Catch Me If You Can. That was based on a true story, and look at what they used him for in the end.

Yeah... I watched our e-mail server filter 35,000 incoming items one day!

My dad's office got attacked by it, it sent out so many e-mails, SBC Shut down his DSL.... I gotta go in this weekend and totally fix it up....

I ordered the latest norton antivirus software just to make sure he is fully protected...

I hate it when viruses like that happen, really makes a company lost a lot of money and time... my dad's DSL was off for 3 days, and he relies on e-mail a lot in his business.

The virus scanners in the office were working fine too, and up to date, but it still got through.....

Oh well, no labor day weekend for me, but Cest LA Vie.

This virus caused my entire campus network to shut down for about 5 days. 2 of my roommates work in the IT dept. and their jobs have been miserable trying to fix this. Luckily for us, we are off campus and our computers are virus free, and quite protected.
