Sure someone knows someone who' been hit by this POS before... this guy kindly digs further into it and shows just what this thing does step-by-step, what to look for, and how the old saying 'Don't Believe Everything You See on the Internet' is still applicable... along with the dependable 'Don't Click Everything You See on the Internet' as well

Pass this to everyone you know who has a Windows computer connected to the Internet... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as a (legitimate) FYI for once

You're getting soft in your old age tau.

Can't say I've personally encountered this sort of mess before, but info is always useful.
Remember kids, trying to start Armageddon is dangerous. Do not try it at home.
