Here we go again, and this one could be bad. If it logs keystrokes, as some suspect, you know what that could mean.

Here's the deal.

*UPDATE*

My virus pattern file and damage cleanup pattern file, for Windows, have been updated 5 times since 12:49 PM on MON 01/26.

I've received about three hundred so far.

Some of them are .zip attachments.

This is just one reason I believe Linux is the only way to go for networked systems.

Yea - this shit is a pain in the ass. I never launched it, but I had to clean this mess up. And you know what, it's not over yet...

I think cool code is neat stuff, but I'd kick the shit out of this asshole all the same. Even though, rumor has it, he's a Linux boy.

Curse Hotmail all you want.

At least it's built-in McAfee does a good job of keeping that kind of tripe away from my Toshiba.
