    I know it was an update disk or something for windows XP, and that's the end of my knowledge.

    My computer also kept doing a timed shutdown, and we couldn't keep it on long enough to fix it at first.

    I always ignore the update prompts too

    Thanks, I'll stop by Best Buys on the way home & ask them.
    Hope their not swamped with people, or sold out of fix it disks.
    I am such a goober for not taking this risk thing more seriously
    before now. I wany my Pet Talk fix TONIGHT. LOL.

    [i]

    Keep in mind this virus is not spreading via email -- it is sneaking in through TCP Ports 4444 and 135, and UDP port 69, so if you have a firewall, CLOSE THESE PORTS! [/B]

    How do I close these ports with Norton? It has a Personal Firewall, can I close them from that?

    One of the advantages to being on a MAC. Who'd bother writing a virus for us. It would hit like, 12 computers!

    Sorry you guys are getting slammed....

    Oooh..not good. I think my computer has the virus. Lately it's been shutting the internet off my itself. Also sometimes I'll get a pop up that tells me an error has occured and that i have to close all my internet windows, which is not fun for someone who just finished typing out a really long post, and then the copy/paste command doesn't work. I deleted my stupid virus checker because I didn't have any more room in my c drive...looks like I'll have to delete some stuff I really want to keep so I can download it again.
    I've been BOO'd!

    Any other time I would be laughing at that, but.... Oh heck,
    might as well laugh. It's better than going nuts about this.
    I'm so glad I just got the book I've been waiting for from the
    library van today. It's the book ChrisH talked about "The Culture
    Clash". It's gonna be a long quite night tonight, I can feel it.

    Umm! I thought I might have it, because
    when I am searching the web the last 3 days, sometime my
    PC stops responding. But it looks like this worm
    doesn not affect Windows 98 so I must be safe.

    Another good antivirus is called PC-Cillin. If it can't eradicate the virus it can quarantine it; cut it off from the outside. We got attacked at work. SEcond time in one week!
