    I have all of my music on external HD also, but the article says the bug can spread to all attached drives. Most of my music is either legit from hard copies of CDs or I have it backed up on CDs I burned. It's having to re-rip everything that would make me mad if this happened.

    whever made the virus is a very sad, gay person who needs a life. thankfully all my music is backed up on my old pc and also on rewritable dvds (as data not as actual music cds) so if they get lost i can re rip them from the cds to my computer. but i did that in case of computer crashing, not because of any dumb virus

    Nevertheless, it's always a good idea I use my back-up drive twice every week. That way I always have my music back-upped, but it's not always connected so no virus can get on it. So, I can never lose more than 10 songs or something. I even have an extra drive at my dad's home, which is back-upped every month, so if I'm a victim of a burglary or something, I still have most of my music.
    My first track, let me know what you think!


    Please give me feedback, I want to get better

    Where would you encounter this worm? And I mean site-wise.

    Also, most pornsite-related virusses and worms I've encountered so far always ask for downloading and installing first. Is that always the case? Or is visiting websites enough to infect your computer?

    And a last question, how exactly do I back-up my music without using DVD's/CD's?
