I thought you all needed to be warned about the worm Win32.polip.A that is getting around at the moment. If you get it no mater how hard you try you only have one option to remove it fully and that is format.

No backing up of anything at all will help as it sits dormant in exe files that you may have stored on your computer. I found out today all about it after receiving a notification email from Daz about a reply on their forum and i clicked on the link, my anti-virus program went into overdrive after that. 400+ models and program exe files were infected by the worm. I am at the moment in the middle of re-installing things back on my computer, its11pm West Australian time and i have been at this for 2-3 hours now.

Anyway guys and gals, just a kind warning to you all that not even backing up things will help you unless you do it early...but then how does one know when the correct time is for making backups.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
