Apparently the report of *a virus* is correct... it has also been
reported on several national news programs.  The dates of the
virus trigger are also apparently correct.  My problem is down-loading
some random software from the network to do a virus scan.  I would
suggest getting the virus scan software from known reputable sources.

HDEuthanasia is the name of the virus.

They say that simply turning your machine off for tomorrow (and
for sept 22) is sufficient.  You could probably spoof the date
on your machine in order to use it tomorrow as well...  Apparently
the virus does not attack Macs.
