If it's technology, I want to know about it.

Duqu Virus attacks Iran. All facilities and equipment are said to be “cleaned”.

On Sunday Iran has indicated that the Duqu Virus (click here to learn about the Duqu super virus) has been detected, but the depth of the contamination is currently unknown. The director of Iran’s Passive Defense Organization, Gholam Reza Jalali, says that the Islamic Republic has produced an antivirus software protecting software and hardware systems of governmental centers against the  Duqu super virus.  All facilities and equipment, which were affected with this virus, have been cleaned, and the virus is under control, Gholam Reza Jalali told IRNA on Sunday.

Side note,  I wander how much the Iranian Duqu anti-virus will go for on the open market ?  I also wander if Iran is still using Siemens control systems.  Sounds like a film plot in the making.
