I'm betting this is a joke.

If it isn't, you have to ask yourself: Why would anyone who feels like creating a system destroying virus actully bother to make a visual indicator, which would alert people, and cause them to run a virus scan.

Well? Ask yourself that!

Ah... but a virus writer who could write a PC to Mac hopping virus, complete with identical visual cues... such a virus writer would scoff at virus scans, as they had clearly already shown themselves to be super-genius coders. ;)

Personally, my theory is that it was an invasion of silicon-eating micro insects. He saw the one or two misguided ones on the screen. Meanwhile, thousands were eating away at the insides of his systems. Note that it's already been a day since we've heard anything. The machines are gone. Hopefully, the poor guy hadn't gone to the beach recently and gotten sand in his shorts....
