I got hit pretty hard over the weekend with a virus... several of them, actually, although I'm sure some are just variants. MSLaugh, Spool, Lovsan, Raleka, Nachi, and probably a few more, have been worming around my system. So now the battle is on, the virii versus the antivirii.

I've been programming computers for a long time, more than twenty years. This is the first time I've been hit really hard with a virus or worm. I've spent almost five days working on this, and it looks like I've finally got it contained.

Thankfully, due to careful partitioning and dual boot and regular backups, I haven't lost any information. It will take me a few days to get everything back to normal though.
