Thanks for the reminder, John - I already installed the latest version of my AVG which is set for daily scans and made sure I had the MS08-067 patch -

I'm set for automatic updates from MS but checked anyway and had a small patch to download -

The Mrs also got an email at work today from their geeks about a "ransom-ware" virus called Vundo that encrypts jpegs, PDF's and Word docs - and then the pranksters sell you a product for $40 to decrypt your files again -

Goddammed kids today...

So anyway, whaddya think, Cap - is there gonna be a denial-of-service attack for April Fools Day or not....

And would shutting off your computer on the 1st be effective - or would the worm just do it's dirty work once you power up again anyway?

Concerned geezers want to know...

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
