Computer Virus on International Space Station

Even “Rocket Scientists” can get a computer virus!

Space.com in a copyrighted article by Tariq Malik, reports one of the 71 computers aboard the space station (ISS) has been infected by the worm identified by Symantec as W32.Gammima.AG.

The source of the infection was a flash drive. When the drive was inserted to the USB port, the computer was set to autoplay and executed an ".exe" program.

If they call me to clean the virus I am really going to charge an “astronomical” fee!

Priceless!
