Re: That V-word thing

[Kenny Vuong <kenvuong@pacbell.net>]

OK, I got this worm virus too.  My system was able to boot, but now keeps
rebooting after I login to windows.  Very sad :(  I may have to slave my
drive, backup my data, and start over.  Good thing I have my laptop still
not affected.  Take care everyone.
