We did the Microsoft scan today.... it took over 8 hrs!
It found only one medium problem: Win32/PowerRegScheduler Which I checked for removal. My son thinks this is a start up window for registering some software. It was located in my start up folder.

I found that eye test chart on Yahoo last night, and did it.
I could see all six boxes clearly! If you get red x's in the top 3... try again. If it continues, it is a good indication you have the worm. The author said sometimes the traffic gets heavy and the links in the pictures overload. So don't faint dead away if you get some x's at first. I think it is kind of a nifty idea!

I hope people are now aware of keeping their computers UPDATED (can do automatic updates) especially on WIN XP
and keep on running them virus/spyware scans. that site is good curious posted. The threat is actually bigger now than April first because the code has been given to STEAL don't let it happen to you...don't get complacent.. I've already got a client that has come to me and he's shut down all his operations temp until this is resolved...very very SCARY... if this bug becomes majorly networked, we are all in a world of CHIT.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ btw, if anyone has ever used Dell or any other services that asked you to download "goto assist" so they can access your puter remotely. Please uninstall those as soon as the troubleshootings are done. CONTROL PANELS>>>>add or remove programs>>>>goassist (Or something like that...I cannot remember the exact file name)
