I had Blasterworm and it was a shock at first, but the remedy software as swift and complete. Anyway we were without power for 45 hours in July while others without for as long as ten days. Good thing the NE utilities won't have to replace poles, wires and transformers.

The computer we bought from my son's friend did not have current patches nor antivirus software. It is infected with a virus that is sophisticated enough to terminate an installation of Norton Antivirus or PC-Cillin. I'm too tired to screw with it anymore tonight. I'm going to wipe the Windows 2000 off the disk and replace it with the Windows XP Home that my son is running on his current computer. His current computer will be slicked and updated with Windows XP home that his older brother is running on a PII 300. I'm just going to remove the good components from the PII 300 and run it back to the local recycler. That should wipe out most of Saturday. My wife and I are going to visit Yellowstone Park on Sunday.

People who write viruses should be locked in a level 5 biocontainment room and infected with ebola. Their remains should be incinerated and flushed down a toilet.
