There are 13,700 infected PCs which are currently connected to the botnet IRCd and this figure is going up by, on average, 1 per second.

STOP FUCKING CLICKING THE LINK.

Thank you.

Every 30 minutes the botnet runners get every infected client to download & execute msn.exe which causes that message to be sent to everyone one your contact list.

They just did it now.

Look at the timestamps.

This morning there were 4000 bots.

People suck. :(

EDIT: It's still going up. It'll go up for a couple of thousand infections (bots) then quiet down..
