computer rebuild
I got the download.trojan virus on my new Dell PC. So I wiped the harddrive and upgraded with an XP Pro install. What a pain; I have spent hours and hours struggling with this. I just managed to finish up my approx. 4 min movie edit of our Blue Springs camping trip. Its the last thing I did prior to giving up on trying to remove the virus. I completed it on the struggling, sick PC yesterday. The video is in raw AVI, so as soon as I get things restored, I'll convert it and share it. Stay tuned. Now I've got to finish restoring all my software....priorities completed so far:
OS Updates
Norton AV
Groupwise (for work email)
Firefox browser
Printer installation and sharing.

My sympathies. Doncha just hate computers?
But the question remains -- how'd you get the virus? What did you do, or didn't do, to be infected?
C'mon, big brother; I need to know so I can avoid the same fate.

I'm reluctant to confess...I can't be certain, but it may have occured when I was looking for a keygen program to crack an Adobe photoshop trial installation. I should know better. Its illegal, and its like going shopping in a back alley. I've since purchased legitimate Photoshop software from amazon.com.
How awful -- in two senses. I am perpetually in "awe" of your capabilities in this area. Max
