I haven't gotten it yet but I probably will.

Our network had a nightmare with Blaster last year.

One of my more computer illiterate friends had around 340 infected files on his computer due to Blaster!

The misterious thing today is that I keep getting email from the Mail Delivery System with normal messages saying emails I sent failed to reach ther destination while I never sent them... but it's web based and I have no email adresses stored there.. so it's strange that there is just a virus trying to replicate itself...

Im just running Norton again of course (even if I never opened an attachment the last 3 or 4 months, beside a couple of pics), and also trying to find out wich files are installed in the PC to try and see if they are there...
