On Aol it says that thousands will be kicked off line on monday the 9th ,apparently its to do with a virus not being removed,is this true? Does anyone else know about this?

Re: Internet Doomsday
I did hear something about this. It is a global virus which Microsoft have been running extra machines to protect us from , if I heard it correctly they will cease doing this on the date mentioned
Not sure how many people will suffer but I believe a small percentage , but could be anyone
If I misheard I apologise in advance,

That sounds like what I have heard too Eagle,only on Aol homepage it gives a programe to download to make sure you dont have this virus,I am wary about downloading anything,so just wanted to know if it was sfe to do so.

Not sure. Gained impression nothing could be done but doubt if AOL would be advising you do to this , if that were the case
Sorry
Hopefully someone a lot more computer knowlegable will advise.

click on the link on the above page and if your background is green you are ok, if it red then not.

They explain the steps to remove the maladware.
and it is free to check. I don't know if there is a fee for removal though as I didn't get that far
