The Virus
« on: April 01, 2009, 07:39:17 AM »
If you have your computer set to Automatic Updates, then you've been protected against the Conficker virus since October 23rd, 2008.

Imagine if TWCs Computers were infected and it launched. Could that cause issues with the emergency feed or satellite feed?
Wish I had a WeatherSTAR 4000. Brings back memories.
