You knew it had to happen - Brand new terror of a virus on the web.
The "AL GORE" virus
First it implants into your machine.
Then when it hits a negative number - The machine halts and demands to be rebooted.
If Rebooting does not work the machine will demand that the entire system be reformatted. and started over. (A sub version of the virus will tell you that you have to begin again and reload a new set of software to get the right number before continuing)
The system will continue to demand rebooting and reformatting until the negative number goes away.
Beware the virus - It might not go away for months.

Dejavu raises an interesting question - Is this virus able to infect carbon based systems? Is this the first computer virus that directly infects people for real?
