Virus Kills 100,000 Windows Machines
 
Botnet Kill Switch 100000 BSODs

Officials are not sure why, but a trojan infecting 100,000 machines, mostly in Europe, recently toasted the machines. Usually, machines are used as Bots in DOS attacks or used to gather data for criminal purposes. They are at a loss to understand why the command center decided to ruin the machines. Moral of the story, scan your MS machine with an updated tool frequently or switch to Mac or Linux |kiss_tux_emoticon.
