The virus file makes for interesting reading if you have a Mac.

Ivan

in windows, disable vb scripting in  start/settings/add new
software/accessories

no more scripting worms.

Forgive Todd: You hit his hot button!

Other known hot buttons:

Stooge Larry: 150KV is for wimps.

Stooge Barlow: Drummers are better musicians than guitar players.

Stooge Moe: Your order has been delayed.

BaldBastard: You need a VCO to make good music.

PTS: Your stuff looks great, but it's too expensive! I'll go build an ASM-1
instead. Do you have Mouser's phone #?

Har! Does the 'T' in "PTS" stand for "Tiberius", by chance? <ducking>

Moe, waiting to see Gladiator tomorrow!

I thought a drummer was a guy that hung around with musicians :-).

Q: What happens when a bass player locks his keys in the car?
A: It takes him an hour to get the drummer out.
 
Of course, it wouldn't be fair unless we talk about guitarists
also.

Q: How many guitarists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 50. One to do it and 49 to stand around saying "I can do 
that."

Q: How many modular synthesists does it take to change light
bulb?
A: "Hey, where are the patch cords?"

*UGH*

It's after 1AM EST and I've been working on this cleanup without a break
since 8:20 Am... YESTERDAY at this point.

We've actually had the fix since about 1 PM, but it's still so damned MANUAL
that the cleanup is killing us.

Then tomorrow, it's new passwords for everybody.

See why I love digital so much?  >:-(

I know this is the MOTM list, but please bear with those of us who are 
destroyed by this crap.  There is a GREAT page on the cleanup at: 
http://www.thepope.org/index.pl?node_id=140

So far only a few instances of actual infection here, however this cleanup 
procedure contained EXACTLY what we found on infected machines.

HTH
