Kill them all.
The people who create and implement computer viruses should be killed, or sued.
Yeah, hire some big time kill 'em all Chicago injury lawyer types to go after them for pain and suffering, damages to the full extent.
I've spent the last several hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer, and I discovered that some icky person created some sort of virus that wiped out my virus protection.
Seriously.
It wiped out every single file in there, it took them all away, all the program files were totally gone, so because my pc required that program, it was doing all kinds of weird stuff, shutting down on it's own, starting in some sort of safe mode, reboot, reboot, reboot.
I finally got it to stay on long enough to delete the program, and once I did that, ta-da!
No more problems at all.
Now I have to find another virus protection program that's free.
Gah.
At least I'm back up and running, but this has seriously slowed down my ability to get other things done.

AVg is a great program. I've been using it for years and it's free. http://free.avg.com/

Oh, that sucks! I've also been using AVG and it's been working great for me so far.

I, also use the AVG Free and so far have no problems. I agree with you about punishing the idiots who create problems for other people. I would love for them to get shingles. I have had it and it is horrible! I lost one computer tower because of a worm that some moron made. YUK

Kat,
I'm sorry to hear about your computer virus. That sucks. AVG is usually pretty reliable, so that's lousy that your computer still got hit. Have fun catching up! I enjoy reading your blog.

I wonder if they had a second virus they planned on sending out that would wipe out more. Though there must be something going around, since you aren't the only blogger who got hit with a virus this week.
