What is the difference between the Y2K bug and the Y2K virus?
According to the experts at F-Secure, the "Y2K Virus" is just a misnomer given to the Y2K bug by media personnel who didn't completely understand the problem.

Can we have a Y2K bug again?
Y2K was based on the idea that outdated computers would fail to understand the year 2000. As the year 2000 is now over, no.
Is the y2k a bug or a virus?
A Year 2000 (or Y2K) bug is a bug that is surrounded the electronic and computer software in the late 20th century that had been using 2-digit years for time-date formats. The bug involves that when it hits the year 2000, the 2-digit year system will go back to "00" which caused problems. Nowadays the situation is pretty much solved with most programs now use the 4-digit year system. (unless you are still using legacy applications that were made before 2000)
Is Y2K scary?
No, it isn't. Though the Y2K bug posed some problems for computers and computer systems, it was largely headed off by thinking programmers and IT people. Those who understood the nature of the bug saw it as a minor inconvenience rather than a serious problem. If anyone was really scared over the situation, it is probable that their fears were borne out of ignorance. The proof is in the pudding. Does anyone recall with clarity the "big noise" about the bug and what really happened? Probably not many. Nothing much occurred. It was "no biggie" in the grand scheme of things, and it's that simple.
Was the Illuminati involved with Y2K?
No, a two hundred plus year defunct secret society was not to blame for the millenium bug. Poor planning on the part of computer programers was.
Why did the federal reserve increase the money supply during y2k scare?

How did you stop the Y2K computer problem?
Quoted from what is y2k (also by me):"Y2K" refers to the "Year 2000 (2 k)". Since this is posted in computer history, I'll assume you're referring to it's effect on computers, or more specifically the "Y2K bug". This was a bug out of the fact that before 2000, computers assumed that years started with 19 e.g. 1985 or 1999. When 2000 came around, people just assumed that computers would glitch out with errors as "2000" doesn't fit into the 19__ form. This was attributed to anything that was relied on computers (car ignition systems, coffee makers, etc.). January 1st came and went, and this proved to be false. And life went on...This caused no major problems, and most programmers had switched their code to be "y2k" compatible anyway.Oh, and I didn't stop it, other people did
When did the world think the Y2K bug would happen?
If you read what you just wrote, you will see that you answered your own question. K is the abbreviation for 1000, so 2K would be 2000.
