“It all started when I wanted to get more performance out of my video card. I download the latest drivers and included this virus.”

Yep, that one simple act turned into an infection nightmare lasting three weeks. I’m hoping Micky will work out exactly where he got the drivers from, and let us know (as well as warning whoever it is that is distributing the infected drivers.

The entire sorry tale is at www mickyj com / blog htm (link deliberately broken because I'm not sure that I want anybody going there yet).

To save you from the need to visit, I'll copy Micky's tale of woe verbatim. Micky’s message to everybody is “Make sure to point out that no matter how cluey you are with IT (I have 20 years experience) these things are getting nasty.”


Thats why I use Linux, no matter how hard or issues, its for sanity.
