4. Yoinks.

Confession: I have a mac. I have checked for viruses, but I have never had one.

I don't honestly know what I would do if I had one. What do you do? Other than the crying and the banging of heads, I mean.

14. I Deleted them immediately .

I am just worried now about whether or not personal information of mine has beens stolen .

8. Well I was doing a virus scan with Kasperksy Anti Virus ...

after reading that there were virus/worms being passed through AOL Instant Messenger and Yahoo!Messenger . I had been having problems this past week who both of those programs so I did a virus scan and YUCK I found 3 Trojans and a couple of " Backdoor " applications . It does'nt help either that I have a static IP addy while usiung a cable modem . But they have been deleted now . Thank God I found them . Its always good to scan your PC for viruses every month .

11. I do scan for viruses, but would your scan

show up with the exact name of the virus? Now I need to start looking more intently. Thanks.

13. Yes it came up with the exact name of the virus .

7. Damn spyware probably unleashed them on you.

I hate it when that happens to me. It takes up too much time to get rid of them. I wish I had the money to just buy a new computer every time it happens. I know that sounds drastic, but life's too short.

9. Damn spyware indeed .

I don't have the money to buy me a new computer yet but it will be this year .

15. I finally got one and I want to take Windows XP and

strangle it, only I cannot find it's neck. I'm still learning how to tweak it though. Maybe I can find a way to close all the holes in it so it will reject spyware or something. I guess I could go online less but that would defeat one of the purposes of having my computer.
