Yes, tubbs, I would too. Sadistic %#@##$#SI hear that most of these viruses and worms are created by the virust busters who plant them and ask for payment to take them out. Clever, huh ?
We just need to be doubly careful as to what we open. If your Internet is still accesible, I find that most viruses and worms can be removed by ourselves with all the help from users around the world.

Hi Shyam, great to see you back and posting again.
There is a really evil virus doing the rounds at the moment. It can even get itself onto a memory stick and transfer itself to other machines. Your PC then gets taken over. Beware, this is a bad one not just scare mongering. I think it is the one on this Yahoo news item.
Use an up to date virus checker and don't open attachments unless you are certain you know where they come from. Even then double check them.

Also make sure you have "fix" and latest virus update.
Ckeck out and download the KB958644 Security Update from Microsoft to mitigate the risk of infection.
I'm npot sure if this one is just for Vista or XP or both, but you can find the info on the Microsoft site.
Stay clean !!
