-------------------- how can you tell the Dreamer from the one who dreams the dream?
I think this might have been the virus I had last week. My Norton Antivirus popped up with a virus alert, something like W32.worm. Anyways, it was detected but the antivirus software could not access the file to get rid of it. I took my computer in to a local computer store and they got rid of it. I figure its well worth the $65 I paid, as I hear this worm virus can really mess things up, and I can't afford a new computer. Be on the lookout everyone! I'm not sure how I got it.
