    Virusses suck. I once had a virus named "parity boot" that wrecked my hdd. I wonder what kind of sick freak writes software like that. I'd like to meet the guy who sent it out to the web in a dark corner to stroke him a little with a baseball bat.

    Yeah, Bugbear's a nasty one.

    Just so you know, there's a hoax virus going around (we've had over 300 instances on campus here) saying that you got a virus and must delete a file. It then describes the virus as having the icon of a Teddy Bear and is stored in the Windows System folder. THIS IS NOT A VIRUS! The icon actually belongs to a Java Debugger. Just so ya know.

    Welcome to the boards, JCDenton!! :D
    I have this theory about viruses, did I mention it before? That I think the Virus Protection Software companies are the ones creating them. Then they ride in on their white horse to save the day for just $49.95.
    See you around JC. :D :D
