UPDATE: MSM PCs under attack - CNN, NYT, ABCNEWS - It's not Zotob; spreading fast! Update virus defs NOW!
Live on CNN right now ... Most PCs running Win2000 or older are now dead at MSM locations all over NYC, as well as some PCs at CNN Atlanta, and it's spreading.
Suspecting Zotob, but not 100% certain.
Oh no! What's Paula Zahn going to do?
Maybe THIS is Y2K!!!
Somebody call Art Bell!!!!

Wierd, huh?
My husband works outside Cleveland and he told me earlier today that their whole network was down, wonder if this is why.
Stop with the jokes you all CMSGOP is going to pee pee himself.
Can't think of any group that deserves it more. I hope that this keeps happening.
This may be the best thing to happen to CNN's ratings in ... forever.
So...are they saying this virus will be coming from e-mails or just surfing?
Ain't Macs great? hee-hee-hee
Probably not, but it's amusing to think about.)
My wife said that her box went at about 4, her secretary's at about 4:30. She doesn't know if any of their other offices (she works for the Fulton County public welfare folks) went down; she didn't realize it was something wide-spread until she talked to me.
Dude, LMAO!!!!! , I think the Dog (My Dog) peed though,Damn!
How do I get SP2?
I haven't heard uyet, I'll check Symantecs site.
Good thing CNN has a small number of viewers, otherwise the MS website might be slowed down.
Be aware ping!
It's amazing how over-the-top hyper Blitz-boy and company are over this. They've been in touch with major financial institutions, the UN and Governor Schwartzeneger and none of them are reporting problems. It seems that Roger Ailes little plan is working very nicely.
Correction:
Many CAN'T install it because of a bug in installing the Genuine Windows Verification system. Without it Windows assumes you have a pirated copy of windows even if you don't.
Microsoft has yet to correct the problem or offer a workable work around.
Their stock prices take a hit in the AM. If you were any kind of a trader maybe you will dump yor AOL Tme/Warner stock first thing in the morning, let it take it's lumps all day and buy it back at the bell for a nice profit.
