Anybody else having computer problems? I was attempting to
post a response on DU and my computer went absolutely nuts, mouse did not work right, menus starting scrolling continuously. Rebooted a couple of times, then my Norton Anti-virus came on and said a worm intrusion had been blocked. Now it is is fine again.

2. No my pc is working fine on here.
You may want to http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and check your pc through there. I have McAfee and I still go to housecall to double check for a virus.

9. no problem, here's some links
Linux kernel website and SPARC Architecture website.

Check MAINTAINERS in the kernel source for various things I regularly maintain, in addition to kernel/profile.c, kernel/pid.c, and arch/i386/mm/pgtable.c (I originally introduced include/linux/cpumask.h but it'd been done before and has since been significantly revised).

4. yes, I posted a reply and it never showed up in the thread.....
I also posted at on another thread and a screen came up and said there was a problem with my cookie. That I should repost. I did and then my post showed up twice in the thread.

It seems to be working now.

7. That happens from time to time on DU. My problem was way
different. Anyway, I just delete the duplicate post and say "dupe" when the same thing posts twice.

10. Isn't Norton great?
I have Norton Anti-virus and Firewall and I haven't had any trouble with worms, viruses or other pesky stuff that can mess up your computer.
