ugh - the evil Antivirus XP 2008 virus. Be warned, everyone. It is truly evil. I'm not sure how we got it, because we have 3 users, and one of them is 4 years old... But this virus pretends to be things that are totally legitimate and then eats away at all sorts of processes. i'm not techy enough to know what the deal is, but don't click on any popups you aren't 100% sure are related to your antivirus software. It starts out telling you that viruses have been found, and you should run the program to delete them. Don't press any buttons on this, even "close" or "no thanks" or "remind me later" - all tricks. You must close using the x in the upper right corner or alt-F4. That's the reason for my new avatar - i spend over 220 minutes on the phone, on hold or getting help to get rid of this virus.
