    OK, this is freaking me out.

    ANTZ!!

    Not real ones, CYBER ones! I think some of the big web sites (Yahoo!, Excite) are infected with a virus that appears to do nothing more than put ant images all over the place!

    Have any of you seen this, or is it just early morning weirdness on my computer?

    They're only in my email accounts. This is getting strange. I'll run PCCillin with my email account open and see what happens.

    I think monster.com is the source! There are ant images all over the home page. I'm going onto Snopes.com to research further.

    I just went to monster.com and there are no ants. I'm going to see if I can find something on this. This intrigues me. Never heard of this virus before. You sure you're not on some strange medication?

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    There are no ants anywhere! Maybe your computer has the virus? I truely doubt any of the websites do....if they did, we too, would get ant attacks.

    I found this: http://securityresponse.symantec.com...nset.worm.html
    It's a virus nicknamed as ANTS but I can't find any that say ants will appear on the screen like that. Have you not been careful of what you downloaded? Do you have any spyware things downloaded? Sounds like your computer needs a good cleaning.

    I found out what it is. Unbeknown to me, my SO downloaded an anti-spyware program. Whenever it blocks a popup containing spyware, it replaces it with a static image of the installer's choice. For some reason he chose....ANTZ!!

    So no harm nor foul.
