Vundo is NOT Fundo

BarTopDancer · 11-10-2009, 07:07 PM

There is a virus that has been around for awhile and doesn't seem to go away called Vundo and it sneaks in through outdated Java runtime software.. I've been dealing with this at work for over a week now and wanted to let everyone know to update their Java runtime environment to the latest version. You can get it from java.com.

I also ask those Mac users to refrain from saying how awesome their Macs are and how they don't have to worry about viruses. It's not helpful, and really, you do. Cause one day someone is gonna write one and it's gonna suck.

You won't hear any smug mac-baggery from me. Everyone be careful out there.

Java is a sore spot for Mac users. Apple has control over the version of Java installed in OS X and it's really, really old. So no bragging here.
