all the preventions such as dissconnecting isnt gonna be enough.
i can only trust that if the fbi lives up to their name, then i can only trust you know what your doing. if ya had the info i have, you would know the disconnect isnt gonna work. since aug of 2008 when the worm was being built, i am still today fighting it. i disconnected all hardware that emits a signal, formated over 500 times, baught original restore disk, threw away all burned cds. and still questionable about all my usb drives. and all the extras, and still today, the worm is into the operating system before i finish a full restore. there are 2 parts that i am lacking knowledge that if your also lacking will be a big mistake. one being that it digs deeply into all storage levels. i believe the firmware of hardware and bios alterations give it a home it calls global. the 2nd being that frequencys are involved and possible phone companys to spread. i wenth through 3 phone companys and if you do a search online using "airtel" and "montana" youll see...the hackers used the conficters as decoys to infect machines with an undetectable nightmare with success...
