6. Kiss My Worm !!!

Um... There are more than just a few folks out here on DU that are not all 'up' on computer geekiness. And having spent more than a few hours removing Msblaster.exe and Welchia.worm from people's computers around my community, I thought it was damned nice of me to give a heads up.

Most people wouldn't be aware of the Symantec site\warnings, and although YOU apparently have all your computer ports battened down, others may not be so secure. Plus, no matter how 'easy' a virus removal may be, I resent little pissant code-freaks steppin foot on my chips, OK???

Peace!

BTW - I use exclamation points, three of them usually, in just about all my posts. It's my tribute to Art Hoppe's three dot method of writing. So There.

Course, some people think of that as some sort of Internet yelling, another computer geekazoid complaint.
