No, it's worse...

At least Rick-rolling used to be funny, the only reason to look at the sun is for page 3, which is now negated by the invention of the internet and google...

Oh yes, awesome article. A virus that makes my computer go "into meltdown"

Bloody scaremongering for the retarded public, written badly by the sun.

Awesome.

To avoid infection, Windows users must download a special free update “patch” from the Microsoft website. But that isn’t enough — you also need good anti-virus software too.

LOL!

What on earth is wrong with that? Get patched up and get some AV - it's aiming at a non technical audience and gets the point across well.

At least they get quotes from relevant people and not any idiot walking in off the street (*cough* BBC).
