| My son,mother, and boss got hit with this thing.
My son took the virus out of his, but it still didn't behave correctly.
He reinstalled.
My brother took the bug out of my mother's machine.
She now needs a reinstall. (strange things happening)
The bug was taken out of my bosses computer, and she now needs a reinstall.
All the fixes that everyone is shouting about, doesn't freakin' work.
It removes the little critter but it doesn't reverse what the bug has done to your computer.
Either it's the bug doing it, or it's the software that was created to rid the bug.
Another strange thing...
They were all using Windows XP.
I use Windows 2000.
Didn't touch me. mwhaaa!!!
PS...
It seems pretty clear to me what took down all the electricity round the united states and in some places across the seas.
The virus was hitting at the same exact time of the power failures.
Wonder why people aren't asking bout this? |

| @ mountain myst
Maybe it's a black op  . Luckily I was running Linux when I got hit, but even then, Linux can act as an agent to further perpetrate the blasted (pun intended) thing.

That is half the problem, alot of people seem to think that people don't do this sorta thing, or more often, think it won't happen to them. I work at a well known computer superstore in the UK (guess which!  ) and I dread to think how much we made fixing peoples machines with this virus.

BTW I just re-read my post, I didn't mean to imply that you are an idiot, that is, you aren't, ermm... I'll stop shoveling now....
