Well I am glad for warnings. I've lost a lot due to virus's and trojans in the past.
I have a firewall, antivirus and spam killers both on my machine and on my inet server.
After reading odf this latest one I downloaded cureit and did a scan. Only virus was in The pre-installed folder of AOL, which I DO NOT use. Cureit cleaned it out.
So everything is fine??? No!
This morning I checked my email, checked a file on my mobile HD and all was working like it should. I came back this afternoon and my mobile is a total blank! I am heartsick. All my PSD and Poser stuff was there. I hadn't yet backed up and now all is gone. not only that but my main disk is slow as a snail and hangs on exe files before opening.
Guess it a retore to factory state after all. sigh
I am so upset and sick over losing all my work that I'm considering just not doing any more artwork or selling anything else.  It's too painful,
I hope the idiots spreading these nasty thigs get some huge boils where it is the most tender that will last for the rest of their life! (this statement earns the "Violence" tag.)

Let me introduce you to my multiple personalities. :)
