Subject: Virus problems !!!!!!!!!

Man!!,it's been a rough week trying to get back online..Tuesday someone sent me a klez virus. The first thing it did was eat my anti virus program and made it inoperable. Couldn't get anything to work. Couldn't start windows, get online or couldn't get the restore disk to work or any of the start up disks either! Took it to a place in O'burg but didn't like the answers I got from the man behind the counter.. I didn't think he really knew what he was doing so I brought it back home. Finally got it going and back online Thursday and checked my e-mail and before I could stop it, Outlook Express opened an attachment from a different sender, and I got the klez virus again!!!! Kept at it and finally I think I have it whipped! Back online and everything seems to be working fine now. I'm a little "gun-shy" about opening any e-mails now..LOL..I lost a lot of data but most of it I can replace, Thank the Lord... The first attachment that I opened said "Admin .. And had something about AOL but I don't remember what...The second one I have no idea what it was ,it happened so fast. When I restored windows, outlook express was configured to open e-mails and mark as read after 5 seconds so I didn't have time to stop the second virus from doing the exact same thing it did the first time..WHEW!!! I've been at this puter a long time trying to get it squared away and back up and running, but I think I've got it now... Be careful of what you are opening !!!Be wary of any attachment from somebody you don't know!!Unless you are expecting an attachment, don't open it!!
Hope everyone's been finding a lot of goodies. Haven't had time to go any this week, hope to next week...HH'ing to all...................Glenn.............................
