Computer Virus Coders are Jerks

This time, though, it's personal. Some idiot somewhere has created a virus that will delete all MP3 files on a computer, as well as any on an "external memory device". Why? Because like I said: virus coders are jerks.
The virus, cleverly called W32. Deletemusic, was created to attack PCs running on Windows 2000, 95, 98, Me, NT, Server 2003, XP and Vista. Which means, well, pretty much any PC. If your computer is Apple, feel free to be smug, as you seem to be safe from the threat. For now, anyway.
The nefarious worm can be spread by simply plugging an external device into any computer, thus infecting that computer. The computer can then infect any external devices attached to it.
Be careful out there, kids. I felt like I was just writing a manual on how you catch AIDS [by the way, use condoms, okay?] only the best protection is "up to date anti-virus software." And be careful about where you go plugging your external devices.
And virus-coders? Stop being such goddamned assholes, okay?
