I had to succumb sooner or later. There are simply too many digital viruses out there for me to dodge them all forever. This is the one that finally gets me, even after all my due diligence to avoid getting hit:
The Netsky Worm delivery vehicle - a harmless looking email
Silly me, i went and clicked on the link thinking that it was indeed an email message. Within seconds, the virus had infected my whole hard drive and began sending out copies of itself to people in my address book. It took me a second later to disconnect myself from the Internet, but to those who receive an email from me that looks like the one above, my apologies (and pls don't click the link!).
Its taken me near 5 hours of cleaning to get rid of the mess. What a complete waste of time.
