Supposedly today is the day that Windows Update is to be affected by this virus, so you are smart in not getting the update today. :)

Welcome back, stormyweatherwatcher7721! My OS is
Win98, and, I breathed a sigh of relief when I read that
it would affect the newer OS than mine. What a way to
get Billy Gatesy's attention, eh? :roll: :wink:

Welcome back! I got the worm too, but I just downloaded the patch and downloaded a program that searched my computer and deleted the bug. Now it works fine. If anyone else had this bug and your computer isn't working right, try http://www.symantec.com (I'm not sure if I spelled it right)

Welcome back!

It's strange to say that I'm actually "happy" that I have Windows 1998 too! :roll: :wink:
