swestrupWell, the virus won. Once AGAIN I am going to spend the day formatting my C partition and reinstalling everything. You know, I take reasonable precautions and after the last virus attack, I seriously went out of my way to get decent virus protection on this machine.
Alas the viruses have gotten much more sophisticated in the last few years. It used to be trivial to kill one and root it out on the odd occasion when one managed to get past reasonable precautions. These days, even with a machine that is dilligently patched, a decent firewall and with two (or three) virus checkers running, they can get through and dig in to such an extent that you can't fix them.
You know, this might be enough to get me to upgrade to Windows Vista if I thought for one minute its virus protection was signifigantly better than XPs
