Edit: oops, shoulda read the next comment.
Doing so will open up your computer to the risks of a well-known vulnerability. The virus distributes itself on the WiFi sub-carrier present in all 10 Megabit and up WiFi connections. The sub-carrier is used for ROM and register debugging purposes only, and otherwise serves no other purpose. The virus sets a bit pattern in one of the internal WiFi registers, but it seemed to screw up the other registers on my Netgear. A WiFi router that has been "infected" with this virus will then transmit the virus to other routers that use a subcarrier (I suppose those who use 1 Megabit WiFi connections should be immune). The virus then attaches itself to all binary incoming data and infects the host computer's hard disk. The only way to get rid of this virus is to completely reset all the WiFi registers by hand, but I haven't found a way to vaccinate a router against the virus, but there is the possibility of building a subcarrier filter. I am connected via 1 Megabit WiFi connection to enter this message, and have advised all internet users to do the same. I don't know how this virus originated, but I'm sure it is the work of someone in the computer telecommunications field such as myself. Probably the best thing to do now is to stick to 1 Megabit WiFi until we figure this thing out.
