10/10/10 internet virus rumour debunked

Rumours have spread across the internet that a computer virus will strike computers at 10 October 2010 (or, if you prefer, 10:10 10/10/10). It’s just the kind of scare that people love to murmur about, but Im afraid it has no basis in fact. There is malicious software which triggers every day of the year so worrying about one particular date or time is actually counter-productive, as it implies that you should take less care on other dates.”]
