I have Windows 10, everything seems regular so far, just getting on now.

The windows 10 issue - the actual bad software update was made to a security program called Cloudstrike. It affects Windows 10 computers that have Crowdstrike also installed.

Most of us don’t have that on our computer. My work laptop does, but I’m off today and refuse to start it up.

” The comment ‘ironically’ came at the same time as Rep. Michael Waltz said Trump’s would-be assas*in Thomas Crooks had “3 encrypted overseas accounts” and then cited the “Iranian plot” to assa*inate Trump.”

Did the dead perp really create those accounts, or were they set up using his name and all the details pushed to his phone?

Was his name really Thomas, or Patsy? Was he wound up and then pointed at Trump so we could get into a war with Iran?

Nothing seems impossible or is off-the-table at this point.

If you do not use Crowdstrike on your machine, you should not be impacted. Also, to be clear, this issue is not a virus. It is a bad file that causes the program to fail; resulting in the Blue Screen of Death. I have a friend who works for a very large US bank and they are impacted bigtime. Very time-consuming because users' machines are locked up so they cannot be accessed remotely for the repair. Each machine has to be accessed by someone with administrative access (not many of those) and on the physical machine, rebooted in safe mode, login, and remove the impacting file. The process is simple, but there are thousands of machines in his office and only a few people with the proper access. and they have many offices around the world. Nightmare.
