Susan has been cleaning Conficker off of work computers all day long.

She says she's ready to choke the people that have it.

Thats pretty much what his did, plus the graphics is all lines up and down,you can even read whats on the screen. I tried the safe mode thing also,and nothing. Even did a system restore back to Jan. 1st and nothing.

I tried to install the software I have but I can't do it in safe mode and the effing thing won't run in anything else.

Susan just got off work and called me. Said she had to reformat several machines today. She was able to remove it using MS's tool in Safe Mode on some others.

If you have a recovery disk, slip it in and reformat. You lose everything but you get your computer back.

That virus is pretty easily prevented with good anti-virus, current updates, and a decent firewall.

Easiest way to know if you have it: Try to run Windows Defender. If you have it then you won't be able to run the program. If you can then you don't have it.

Yep. Ron Jeremy is NASTY. He wasn't even attractive when he was young and thin and slightly less hairy. Even that big ol hammer he carries around doesn't give him any points that help him out with that face of his.

Happy Bday Lisa!!
Been out messing with the trailer light plug on the truck. I did find the problem. The prongs were all corroded where the wires snap into the plug and the prong for the electric brakes was broken. Instead of installing a whole new plug I think I will just order up the piece that I need and be done with it. Oh yeah and seal it real good. Dont need the brakes for awhile anyway. ANYWHO, didnt mean to get to techy in the OT.
Looks like I dont have any viruses or crap like that.
I did notice the whole April Fools crap on here today......WTF?
