  9th July Virus.

  Posted by Karl Williams on 7 July 2012 at 16:48

  Apparently on Monday a virus is supposed to shutdown or destroy many computers. It was spread last year and is supposed to be sitting and waiting for the 9th July to do whatever it’s supposed to do. Don’t know how true this is, might me a load of tosh but just thought I’d let you know anyway.
  Skynet…….here we come! Blah blah blah…..now where’s Arnie! 😉

  it’s a "can’t get on the internet" virus. DNS / sends you to fake sites etc.

  If you’ve got antivirus software you SHOULD be fine if it’s up to date & reputable.
