Just as a warning to all you guys, my normal computer got hit by MS Removal Tool; basically, it's a bogus Security Program that gets install on your computer and lights up like a christmas tree with fake reports and Trojans. It's supposed to actually add Malware, so be careful.
Just thought I would give everyone a heads up.

There was a time I would probably have killed for a tool to remove MS from my computer.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

Funny you brought this up though, that hit my PC a few weeks ago and it jacked it up pretty hard. It got me just before I updated my anti virus. Moral of the story here kids, update often!

At least I can play games on a virus-riddled PC. Macs are still stuck with The Sims and Age of Empires 3.

I got hit by this. It plagued me for a few weeks, before vanishing (I presume Spybot: Search & Destroy got to it).

There is quite a big Mac virus going around at the moment isn't there? Called 'Mac Security' or something...

Not your guys' fault, but you couldn't have said that BEFORE I payed $200 dollars to Geek Squad to get it removed (got a full years coverage and 15% off along with that, but still).....
