like i said, the only thing it does to the infected system is shut you down anytime you try and do something,but tonight,the 16th it is supposed to attack microsoft from all host computers........very unlikely now.......
Actually, thats not what its written to do. It takes advantage of an insecure flaw in Windows which allows data to be sent to Microsoft's data collection servers (which re-route to other servers when overloaded). The virus exploits this by sending excessive amounts of data continuously to Microsoft, hence overloading their systems and temporarily shutting them down. However, the program was badly written and the code interpreted by the OS kernel sometimes fcuked up the system, causing it to shutdown on network tasks, or to reboot over and over again.
