I just lost my entire hard drive to a virus, or maybee to my lack of Windows knowledge. I am not that good with computers, but I did have Norton installed. I did get nailed three times with code red but I am not sure if that was the virus that screwed up my Windows and most of my programs. My computer would come up with a error on every single program that I opened, then it would lock up and sometimes it would just turn black screen with no message, or blue screen with fatal error or something like that. It took me all day to get Windows to work again. I tried rescue disks, boot disks but I could not get any program to run for more than a minute. Finally I had to reinstall windows from a seperate CD. The Gateway restore disc wouldn't work because of some virus running. I uninstalled norton and then tried the restore disc and the same thing over and over. I wish that I had the patch a few days ago. Thanks for the patch link, I will put it on my computer now.

Have you seen the analysis of Code Red II - its beautifully evil - much better than Code Red!

I can't belive there are so many idiots too.
