I spent the day reinstalling Windows yesterday and today on all computers. had this stupid virus and I have no clue how it got on the network. I never open attachments, and my dad said he did not open any either. But you never know with him.

Now I just need to finalize everything and I'll be all set. The most ennoying part is configurating all the email accounts.

The virus writers are getting sneakier, you don't have to open attachments now to get hit.

Nope, msblast for example, my mom's work got it. They have a few hundred computers there.

It's all Microsoft's fault!

AT&T, imagine a better Microsoft-less world

M$soft claims there was a patch for that vulnerability which was released mid July. Who knows?

There was one for the msblast, but not sure about the funlove which is what I got. I sort of quit for today, as for the clean install. It usually takes 2 days straght to get everything in order. I have too much software - and I use it all.

It does take a long time to get everything back on after a clean install. Even if you have a back up of your programs, they may not be clean!
