A buddy of mine got one today. It was the msblast.exe and you won't get it if you keep your windows updates done.
It shuts down your pc.
The screen says RPC terminated or something to that effect.

I don't know if that is the same one, there are so many of them lately.

This site generally has the latest virus threats/fixes.

Thank you. I just asked up on Open also. My other thought is that NBC wants to take some of the steam out of the Superbowl since they screwed up the last time NFL contracts came up and they didn't get any [that's why they havethe arena stuff].

I just rigged my antenna so I can get CBS for the first time in about 5 years clear enough to watch easily. In fact I came up with three channels instead of just one - surprised me.

Here's a link that is kind of interesting about how people think about viruses.

You really do come up with some good ones.

I don't know what to do about tomorrow. I'll probably just ignore it and see what happens.

As long as you have security protection on your pc, it should block it.

Please post if you find out any more info on it.

All I did was scan everything - came up negative - my systems updated recently - I guess that's the best I can do. If it hits, it hits. I post if I hear anything else.
