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.
