the worm infected my comptech and comp animation classes (they are the same class room) and we thought we got rid of it but it came back this moring on 2 computers so we unpluged the network cable and restared them in safe mode but we could not get on to the comp cuz it only works thru the server so we restarted in safe mode with networking and reconected the network cable got on to the computer and then disconnected the network cable again (to prevent spread) and ran a vires scan to see if we could find it and kill it. it has been pleaging our class for about 2 weeks and it is starting to get really dumb. it slows the computer down and sends netsends to the infected comp and we cant seem to get rid of it. ok i am done. just wanted to leave my hate to gaobot.
