Will Computer Virus Attacks Peak Next Monday?
Posted November 18, 2008
Everyone panic, virus attacks are going to hit their peak next Monday!!!
Internet users are being warned to stay vigilant by researchers who believe that next Monday could be the worst day the year for computer attacks.
After analysing information on viruses and internet worms taken from more than 500,000 machines around the world, security experts at PC Tools have pinpointed November 24 as the potential peak of malicious software activity for 2008.
Despite the informaton being credited to “security experts at PC Tools”, none of the websites running this article provide a link to this statement. Neither “PC Tools News” or PC Tools forums show the information.
The benefit of this scaremongering is that there has been some great comments in the Digg.com post for this article.

Make sure your antivirus and/or antispyware programs are up to date but take “Computer virus attacks ‘to peak next Monday’” with a grain of salt.
