your input on the virus is appreciated, and as these occur with frightening regularity, PC users would be wise to take your advice to heart. While I do not want to rain on anyone's parade, in the same vein, because these happen so often we could dedicate a whole section just to this off topic.

I do not feel that systems info has any place on this forum outside of our trying to aid members with problems they may be experiencing in their use of this forum. So I would appreciate keeping this type of posting to a minimum.

As John suggests folks... it's a scarey world out there, make sure you're practicing "safe computing".
