Your network printers will be if you get hit with the W32.Hoots worm. This piece of work will print a picture of the O Rly owl on all network printers.

Ya Rly.

This has to be the funniest virus/worm I’ve ever heard of.

And not that I’d ever wish for anyone’s computer to become ‘infected’ with any type of unwanted code… but I would love to see any pictures of an office that’s been hit with this one. I can only imagine the looks on people’s faces as the O Rly owl greets them when they come into the office Monday morning.
