I was called on this week to "fix" a PC after it was upgraded to XP.

Clinton - WELL DONE!!! You had your shields-up and were aware to the situation before it could cause any damages. You also gave alert - to be alert. The holidays provide a prime target zone for neferious deeds.

Clinton your situation is another WARNING!!! Thank you for posting.

The "fix" referred to above - required restoring "lost" programs that had been backed-up. The "backup" unleased the dormant SASSER-B (worm) the owner became beligerant .... screaming that there had never been a worm before. An over-the-net ... anti-viral ... cost 10% of my services.

No matter, if it is ... sex, security, or the internet. Always BE SAFE and have fun, sing songs, and see that no-one is hurt.

Sincerely, (Clinton ... you did good)
