 * Delete - Just another virus with no notability like Conficker or whatever the current one is called. §FreeRangeFrog 04:52, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I found no references outside of forum-like, specialized computer websites. If someone can find a couple reliable news sources mentioning this virus, however, I would say to keep it. Cazort (talk) 20:20, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

 * There are millions of dangerous computer viruses that really exist. That a virus "really exists" is not a criterion for inclusion. That it is dangerous is no criterion either, even if it has the potential to wipe out the entire Internet in a matter of seconds. To have a Wikipedia article about it, a virus has to be notable. According to the Korea Times (which is the only one of the above sources that we deem reliable), the virus only appeared earlier this week, and the cure already exists. Will people remember the virus even three months from now? As for removal information, sorry, but Wikipedia must not become a how-to guide. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 11:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
