 It could happen to any of us, Chris, especially since it's the same
 Norton Antivirus which caught it for me, and I'm often behind with the
 updates. I'm going to try to be much more prompt from now on, and to
 finally start keeping up to date backups.

I had my hardrive crash a couple of weeks ago and fortunately some of my 
files were backed up more than others. Taught me a lesson to backup more 
frequently. I suspect it was a virus because I could not get in to Windows 
and the startup froze. The HD was under warranty but I took them up on the 
offer to pay an extra $75 for a 15 gig, rather than a 13 gig which I 
initially had. It runs much faster now.

When all the fuss came about last night, I hurried to the computer store and 
purchased Mcaffey Antivirus. Like my backup habits, I should have done this a 
long time ago. I also purchased Mcaffey Firewall which I highly recommend. 
Keeps outsiders out of your computer system.
