Bad News

Well, my laptop's got a virus. Yep. It's currently being repaired. Now, nobody panic. I won't even make this announcement official yet, because I'm not sure if I am totally screwed yet. One thing I can tell you is tomorrow's fanmail will not be released on time. I'm looking at a Sunday/Monday release and that's if my laptop is working fine. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up.

Dang, what virus did you get?

It was a WormP2P, a network-aware virus that spreads quickly. It doesn't do a lot of damage at first, and using some advanced techniques I was able to delete some of it, but eventually my icons were gone, my Internet Explorer kept randomly closing, and I had many registry errors. I didn't get any blue screen of death like last time though, so it could be repaired. My fixer had to reinstall Windows XP though, and thus I have a bright gray bar at the bottom, and a totally blue screen, with black inc, resembling Windows 97. At least it is operable, though.
