Hmm I don't know what virus. I keep hearing on the news about a worm that slows down internet speed.

Anyways I don't worry too much about virueses. I have Norton Antivirus.

As long as you have the up to date Windows updates then you sould be fine. Microsoft released a fix for the flaw in Windows that the virus was taking advantage of ages ago.

here's what the virus does

"Ok, EVERYBODY beware of the new virus that is out. It can find your computer in about 15 minutes if you're not protected against this. It's called the Sasser Worm, and what it does is when you go onto the internet, you get a message saying your computer is going to shut down in 60 seconds. It counts down, and then after it reaches 0, your computer shuts off (MAYBE reboots, I forgot). ANd then from then on, when you go on the internet you get that message and you can only stay on for 60 seconds."

Ye, it gives you a 60 second countdown error, before restarting your PC. This virus was seriously widespread..

You got the virus by simply connecting to the Internet.. You didn't have to download anything. Messed up :S.

I wouldn't worry about it to much, as long as you have downloaded the lastest windows update. It does no long lasting damage to your PC.
