worms anyone?
Well, I got my first virus. What a bummer. It was the sircam worm, it messed up my e-mail. I think i had it for about a week before i realized that something was wrong. I hope i didn't spread it to anyone here. If i did sorry. When i realized that i had a virus i updated my anti-virus program and then it detected it but it was too late it couldn't get it out, so i had to take my computer down to gateway and they took care of it, they had it about a week, they had a bunch of them come in with the same problem. The guy at gateway said everyone should update their anti-virus program every week. There are new virus comming out constantly.

I bet that was the same virus my computer got. It was sending out e-mails to other people and I had no control over it. People was e-mailing me and chewing my @ss out for sending them a virus. I had to buy virus software to get rid of it. No more problems since then.

walkindude, that was exactly what mine was doing. I kept getting undelivered mail back, but i never sent it to begin with. Then i started getting mail from people telling me to quit sending them mail. I didn't know what was going on. Hope it's over now.
