Can I get a Flu shot for my Computer?

OK, time for that weekly update… Not to much to report on the job front, I’m still looking. But so far no real bites to speak of... The only trouble I've run into this week, was a very nasty Virus that infected my computer. This thing tried to take over my system! The only Virus scan that even saw it was AVG, and it was unable to vanquish it! It would appear it is a new version of the Lop C Virus. AVG identifies it as Lop QA , It is located in ( C;\Document and Settings\ your name\ local settings\temp ), It exploits old IE5 files & Reg keys remaining on your machine. In the Reg you will find it listed as C-Dilla or Funksoft,, and when you delete it from the Reg, all you do is Piss it off!…. LOL. Then it just infects all your system drivers at once! It will also build 2 add-ons in the new IE7 Platform, look for (iifebxv.dll & mllmk.dll), if you should find either of these entries in your add-on manger for IE6 or IE7 disable them Fast! I also did a Trace on where the Virus was reporting to, It is a Server in Belgium, at (82.98.235.63), the Virus is collecting pass words, credit card numbers, and banking info. It is my hope that no one still uses Microsoft password manger , this is the first file it transmits home. Leave it to Microsoft to release a new program, that has more holes than Swiss cheese. After fighting with the Virus for 2 days, I gave up & did a full system wipe, reinstall that was the only way to clean it out. I run backups every week so I did not lose any thing important, but I did lose my Microsoft Office 2003, I’ll miss that Program! That was the only Program I had , that was on a Bulk license form a friends company. So I will have to make due with Microsoft works till I can upgrade to Office 2007.
