You Have My Gratitude

Thanks go t Kerry, Brad, Doug, and Wha for helping me out with my virus. I tried Microsoft Beta, Spybot, Yahoo Antispy, AVG, and one other program. None worked. I do like Microsoft Beta, though. Eventually, I figured out that I had the CoolWWWSite worm. After readiang techguy's attempts at fixing this and everything that it does, I realized that it would be easier tor einstall programs and files than to correct the problem.

The porn worm won the battle, but I formatted my drive. I won the war. The most noticable change was to my desktop. I went from an "Everyone Knows, It's Butters" screen to a "Charlie Parker and Miles Davis" picture. Charlie Parker, the king of Be-Bop and Miles "Kind of Blue" Davis, Sweet.

I can't say this won't ever happen again. It may, but I am learning how to prepare for it. Knowing is truly half the battle.

Thank you again,

Lawtonious Funk

Make sure you are running a firewall man! If you need one, I have ZoneAlarm with antivirus, I can get it to you this weekend. Just let me know.

I reinstalled ZoneAlarm the minute I got back online. Thanks, though.

You are lucky you're staying at Larson's pad. My mom's CPU is crashing. She blames me, but I don't think my virus attached to emails. I still get to fix it, though. Yea!!!
