Hooray for internet worms!

Welcome to reinstall #112.

I discovered I had the MSBlaster worm on my comp yesterday when I saw a mysterious little dialog box pop up on my screen that said "I could remove your aintivirus software, but it is not to be." Then when I tried to go online, I got a huge red X on my screen that warned me shutdown was imminent in less than a minute. I initally thought it was the RIAA finally exacting its vengeance on me for downloading so much free music. After rebooting and coming up with the same problem, I realized it had to be a virus of some kind.

So yes, the MSBlaster worm was upon me. And judging from the poor grammar & syntax, it looks like something hobbled together by some middle eastern terrorist hacker, declaring Jihad on all MS users. Either that or, a pissed-off mac employee who just got laid off... or not laid enough.

I went online at work today to find a solution to the problem. Every site I came to said "Download the patch, download the patch!" Jeez, my computer has a cold, it doesn't need to stop smoking! Since my gestapo company disabled downloading of any kind, I couldn't just throw the patch on a floppy and take it with me. So after I got home, and after a few irritatingly unsuccessful attempts to beat the clock trying to download the patch I needed, I finally gave up, reimaged the comp, and reinstalled my operating system.

Hmm, maybe I should make the switch to mac so I don't have to deal with all this virus shit... nahhhh.
