When your computer becomes a dirty whore

So I found out that some how I contracted an digital STD for MSN. I am not sure if it was something I downloaded (don't download a lot, unless its for school) or something that was going around on MSN, but I caught it, and spread it. The worst part were the lack of symptoms. My anti virus checker didn't pick this new bug up, and I didn't know my MSN was sending it around, unless someone replied to the message I didn't know I sent. Seems confusing. I was at least comforted in the fact that others seemed to have the same problem, so I was no sinking alone. I still have no idea what this bug is, or if I got rid of it. I bought a new and updated anti virus program and scanned my computer and found and deleted two nasty virus', but I have no clue if they were the right ones. I left my MSN up today with my mane changed to "DON'T OPEN ANYTHING FROM ME, I HAVE A VIRUS, JUST LET ME KNOW IF I SENT IT TO YOU" , hoping that this would help others to keeps themselves protected. I get home to a computer screen full of responses such as " can I open this ", " I tried to open that thing - it didn't work", " hey that file you sent doesn't want to open?" .....so to me these people are idiots for not reading first, and deserve the virus......sometimes there is only one way to learn........the hard way! Anyways - that's what's new with me.....and it may be for a while, cause I have no way to know if I am cured, except to wait it out, and hope that I am in remission long enough to consider myself cured!

Have a great weekend, and keep protected!

I love how you describe your 'std'. I haven't gotten it from you, but thanks for the warning. You are very responsible for gettign the word out there, even if it makes your computer look like a dirty skanky digital whore. I will scan my laptop just in case.
