So many new ones to check for. Start fresh, no more naggin questions like "ARE YOU SURE MY PC IS SAFE? HUH? WHAT IF THERE\'S A NEW ONE THAT CHANGES NAMES LIKE IN THE MOVIES???"

Format C: and be done with it, I said.

I downloaded the patch today just to be safe, never had any problems though.

I\'ve spent the past 3 days deleting that worm from people\'s computers. Worm=Bad for noobs, good for me $$$

I disagree on the Zone Alarm suggestion. It is software, and thus can never go up to a hardware firewall standard. Most simple little dsl or cable routers kept most safe. The only calls I have had to go on was either dial-up, or DSL-Cable hooked up directly to the p.c.

you think a hardware firewall has a little gnome inside the box magically checking each packet?

:rolleyes:

My PC is safe.

I\'ve got a problem on my laptop at home... I will be on the internet
for about 10 minutes, then a search page will open that has no toolbar, when I hit ctrl-W a little window pops up that says "just search and go!" with an OK button that won\'t stop coming back. I have to use the task manager to close it. Really sucks! Will zone alarm take care of that, mm? My co-worker has it and says it\'s great, but he has to ask me to change his screensaver, so I don\'t
think he\'s very savvy...

Beware of the underpants gnome....

Could someone do some reasearch and find the most rescent post from mm where he wasn\'t telling someone they are an idiot? I know it\'s been awile. But it\'s certainly made things interesting. :whip:

Umm Number one problem I can see in this thread is the amount of people who use Norton Antivirus....... PLEASE!!! If you want a good virus scanner go out and get pccillin from trend http://www.trend.com plus you can download a respectable mblast cleaner on there site that can run from a disk in dos. This worm causes no real damange so for god sake dont fdisk and reinstall thats just stupid.

Word @ Cyrus. I use that software as well and it\'s teh shiznitz. Or something.

I\'m not a computer nerd so I don\'t understand wtf is going on. But I get a message telling me I have to shutdown in less than one minute when I boot up, is this the virus?
