There is a new version of a nasty computer virus making the rounds.
I was planning on spending the weekend at the Gathering, but on Friday afternoon my computer alerted me to the presence of a virus called vundo.trojan, a trojan virus that sneaks into your computer through pop-ups or adware. It attacks virtual memory and starts up a variety of processes while dialing up and downloading other malicious code from the net. The worst part of this is that the major anti-virus companies software can detect it, but cannot do asnything about it. Removal is a manual process requiring extensive downloading and running of specialty scanners and tools. Researching and getting rid of this virus cost me my whole weekend. Thanks go out to the techs at Geekstogo.com for walking me through the process and helping me find exactly what files needed to be removed. For a volunteer message-board based group, they responded fast and with solid information that worked.
