Decent article - I just hope the people putting down the Sun don't read the Daily Mail or Daily Express
Nope. But I do read The Sun

No.
Only Noobs get infected anyway, which means im safe. Plus, if that fails, there is always my tinfoil
Speaking of this, is there anyway I can immitate a virus on a MAC or actually infect one
? I really need to shut up my "Apple/Mac" branded friend. Who I swear is employed by Apple to go round shouting "Well Macs cant get infected!"
Yeah I love it when they say this.
Its like they are saying the PC is going to become infected, then stab the owner to death out of rage.

Even if I did I wouldn't disclose it outside the confession box
I don't see what the problem with the article is. It communicates the most important information about the virus in an accessible and engaging way. If you'd rather read about a virus from a Kaspersky security bulletin or an article like this, then you're not really the type of person who the article's aimed at. It'd help if it linked directly to the patch rather than just to microsoft.com, though.

Yes they do.
Hasn't there been like two proof of concept viruses for the mac? Nothing ever in the wild that I know of.

lol @ this topic, far too many people need to get off their high horses and possibly see about having their heads removed from their rectum...
Yes, the Sun is sensationalist trash. If it gets people to update their computers and antivirus in time for April 1st, then it's all good.
"Scoff, I shall never get a virus, I don't click anything and am ultra computer smartz! All n00bz are idi0tz!"
Sigh.
