A computer network security company claimed if the rumors about a virus that will shut down computers around the world on Sunday, October 10, 2010, only issues that have been greatly exaggerated.
“This is just an exaggerated news. Surely originated from a conversation between friends on the internet, then spread to everywhere. I do not think there is strong evidence to show the truth of this rumor,” said computer security researchers at Sophos.
“The truth is, malicious software will always be there every day for a year. So worried about a certain date as a day of the spread of the virus is not recommended. Should you notice the computer security every day, not just one day alone,”
The reason why the rumors that emerged and the target date of October 10, 2010, is because the numbers are quite unique and very interesting. Rumors like this are nothing new. The reason has ever uttered a similar issue in cyberspace in 2003, precisely on March 3, 2003 (03-03-03). At that time, rumors say if the internet would be stopped forever.
