Woe Is Me…

Posted by Terry Gatewood on January 15, 2008

Hi everyone…
I just had a complete computer crash from a virus that I picked up somewhere. It made it past 2 firewalls and a slew of anti-virus programs, and a proxy server. Right now it appears I’ve lost everything I’ve accumulated over the past 10 years or so.

Update all of your virus software as well as your firewall(s). Whatever this sucker is it got past everything. The only thing I can figure is that it adapted itself to one of the programs or files I was running and mimicked it. I dunno, I have never had a virus get past the iron wall I’ve built.

Be careful!

    This is scary. I have all of the protection you mentioned and figured I was pretty safe. Thanks for the warning.
