Post by MoonlightRose Kurama »

Has this site taken percautions about the new virus called Kama Sutra Virus?It is appearently really dangerous.

Crashing a Ford Anglia into the Whomping willow is not the best entrance to make. Crashing it into Snape's office is.

It does not seem to infect websites. The virus comes in the form of email attachments and programs spread by p2p programs. The virus can be neutralised by anti-virus software before it kicks in (every third of the month.)

The virus affects Windows based machines. This site is housed on a RedHat Linux server. So the short answer is there is nothing to be worried about.

It did a lot lot less damage [as in, next to nothing] than originally expected. Just another modern day scare.
