    Virus Alert Info
    If anyone has received any email from me with an attatchment, do not open it! Someone sent me 50 emails this morning (my dumbass opened it) that turned out to be a possible worm virus. What this does is send out email to everyone who has ever emailed you via the contact list in Outlook Express.

    I strongly suggest for anyone who has ever emailed me to get some virus protection software. As it turns out the virus has affected my biggest computer, the one I use the most, very badly. I can't even reboot all the way. Windows will not fully load thus disabling me to run McAfee. Looks like I'm gonna have to reformat.

    Fortunately enough for me, I have several computers and this laptop I'm on now was not affected. So, if you received any email from me know that I did not send it intentionally and the virus that affected my computer did.
