goodness, this has been a LONG 72 hrs but I'm GLAD TO SAY, I'm finally RID
of the kakworm.virus ... our phone bill is going to be OUT OF THIS WORLD
next month b/c I was on the phone off/on for *4* hrs w/ my ds (away @
college) b/c he helped me to get rid of this thing ... *ACK*!!! I also
realized how ADDICTED I've b/c to the internet ... I guess I'll be signing
myself up for a 12~step computer~addiction~anoyn~group asap!!! seriously, I
was quite a pathetic basketcase OFFLINE :I

Tracy, I'm sorry I didn't return your e-m but since I knew I had this virus,
I didn't want to spread it around by resending it ... besides, I don't have
the foggiest notion about *WHAT* my ds did nor would I EVER be able to
explain the steps, either ... good luck if you've contracted this ... AND,
my ds tells me another virus is due out June 1st but hopefully, I'll be ok
...

thanks Shannon Brophy for trying to help me but, like I said, I had no idea
what you were trying to say and since I knew I was infected, I didn't want
to spread it to you, too ... but, thanks so much ...

ohhhhhhhhhhh, the joys of technology :}

Hi Tracy and Amy ...
 
yes, as a matter of fact, we realized my signature was functioning so this prob had something to do w/ it???   ACK, I didn't even KNOW what a signature was!!!  well, now I do!!!   I was really very lucky b/c both the Housecall and McAfee scanners said the kak-v  was in 4 major files but luckily/thankfully, I didn't lose anything ... btw, I did realize my scanner was outdated; it's funny how something only 1.5 yrs old can be obsolete!!!
 
just glad I'm up and running again ... Amy, the 12-Step meeting will be held weekly @ my house, just until we get our addictions under control!!!  LOL!!!
 
have a great day ...
Pris

Well, good for you for getting debugged!  As I could figure out, (which I could have mentioned)  if one doesn't use the signature function (which despite becoming more tech-y by the hour <g>) one isn't spreading it, at least, when I had the full-fledged version I didn't get told I was spreading it.  I almost think I should get re-infected so I could debug myself properly.  BTW, what did it do to your 'puter, apart from infecting others?
