    I don't know how I got it but my computer got fried by it. My computer brother had to go in safe mode to remove it. He's not sure he got it because it won't boot up without a new windows xp cd which had to be ordered. I hope it can be fixed!

    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.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



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

    Thanks for the heads up. I know this is legit, and very alarming. Pictures used to be "safe".

    This has been around FOREVER and well isn't new to me, anyway. That's another reason why I no longer use Internet Explorer and haven't for about two years now

    If you have Windows Update auto enabled it will already have been downloaded for you.

    p.s. I use Firefox too - and love it - but I still have to use IE occasionally and have the auto update enabled for exactly that reason.

    Yes, this vulnerability has been around for a LONG time now unfortunately. Microsoft is very slow to fix things like this...

    That's the main reason I use Linux for the 'net machines. Now I realize not everyone wants to use Linux so education is the only answer for pc users. If everyone knew more about their pcs and how to prevent these things taking over then the internet would be safer for all.
