User:WombatCowboy/Boll weevil virus

Boll Weevil, also known as bowlweavil, bowl weavele and b-town, is a computer worm targeting the Microsoft Windows operating system that was first detected in July 2009. It uses loop holes in windows authentication to cause annoyances to the user and to spread. Boll Weevil has more than 200 thousand domains infected according to AVG. The worm hides in the local domain of the computer linking itself to users login. Therefore it is not uncommon for the issues to follow the user to other computers. Issue include but are not limited to, random "gentle" power downs, deletion of pictures, documents, printers, or other drivers, and the resetting of non vital passwords. Bowl Weevil is most commonly contracted from youporn.com from downloading on secure videos. Currently there is no cure for this virus other than formatting the Domain Controllers.
