re: #338 lawhawk

Their claims of being able to fix it should be taken with a grain of salt. If you think a highly invasive, carefully programmed virus has infected key computers, you don’t just rejigger the whatsits, edit the registry, and delete the files. You have to assume that people had backdoor access and were able to plant all kind of other shit on there, too. They can rootkit it in that time period, if they’re motivated enough.

The only way to ‘fix’ computers you think have been totally compromised, not just used in a standard botnet but really hacked into, is to wipe them. Get off whatever data and go over it carefully if you absolutely must.

Iran’s claims of quick supremacy over the virus seem unreasonable.
