It has been suggested that although this is a virus/worm its not too bad really.
Whats it do, shut down your Windows pc & popup a few messages, anything else?
AFAIKR it does not harm any data.
It appears it is only and attempt by someone who has found a flaw in the system to get MS to do something about it, not by telling them directly and getting ignored but publicly?
I think we should be thankful the person who did this was not malicious.
At the same time it is able to make people more aware of the need to run firewalls, as thats what will be likely advised when they talk to someone more informed about PC's or get information on removing it. Hopefully this will also remove the
consequences of what it has done in telling everyone else that they are unprotected.
Although behind adequate firewall protection myself, some of the people that I know had it. Hopefully not too many people will format their PC in an attempt to remove it.
