I'm pretty sure I know where I picked this up and I'm positive that I didn't click on a bad link, but my work computer seems to have picked up a virus. Or maybe two.

I'm scanning it now and am over on a different machine typing this. *sigh*

Bill, you really should dump Windows. Best damned thing I ever did.

Not really an option on my work machine, even if I were so inclined.

I used to think that too - that it wasn't an option. Much to my surprise when I really did try, it was an option, and it has saved me a fortune in time wasted maintaining computers.

Just curious - what's your stumbling block?

I develop Windows software for a living using Visual Studio 2008.

Ah! You definitely need Windows then!
