Warning! Waagacusub Has a Deadly Computer Virus!

Waagacusub is a major Somali News web site with daily updates. It is well known for articles that are critical to every group of the Somali polical spectrum. None the less, many Somalis overseas as well as many in Somalia read it daily and are finding it tough to continue to visit the WaagaCusub news site due to technical difficulties.

If you haven't visited Waagacusub.com lately, please do not visit their web site for your own computer's sake. There is a virus on Waagacusub web site which is a major threat for your computer and it can harm your pc. It has been like this for the last several months.

We spoke with the WaagaCusub webmaster and asked if he knows about the virus on their web server. According to him, there are outside groups trying to shut him down and are attacking the web server that hosts them with virus. A web server is an online computer in which a web site's files are kept for public access through a public universal resource locater (url).

Unfortunately, the same people that are out to criple waagacusub.com are indirectly causing havoc in Somali people's homes infecting individual computers unintentionally.

Ahmed Olad, a Somali student in University of Mysore said, "I visited Waagacusub.com several weeks ago and my computer shut down right of way. I couldn't turn it back on. I had to take it to a pc repair guy near my house who charged me some fees to reinstall the operating system."

The threat level of the virus on Waagacusub.com is severe and may not only infect your computer's hard drive, it may actually damage your hardware. Furthermore, the majority of anti-virus programs do not detect it. Most often, you will notice your computer shut down unexpectedly before you even finish opening the waagacusub.com index page.

It is rare that Somali news web sites are infected with virus by a group of individuals out to shut them down. However, no one knows the exact number of web sites that may have a virus on their web server. The best way to surf the web to minimize the any unwanted effects to your pc is to browse while you have an antivirus software installed. If you do not have one install, stay away from waagacusub.com and first download and install ThreatFire and PC Tools Firewall Plus which is free.
