Oooh, dont I just know it. Reformatted my PC, installed Win2K, have dialup so getting all the critical updates takes forever and a day. Check my email whilst they are downloading. And my first batch of incoming mail has NIMDA.A in it. :-( Not only that but McAfee.com's online ActiveShield thing crashes when I try to reinstall it. GRRR! Thankfully Trend Micro's online virus scan (http://housecall.antivirus.com) and Symantec's NIMDA fix tool (http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.nimda.a@mm.removal.tool.html ) saved the day. <tip type="Keep Windows Updated"> If you want to make sure you always have the latest security fixes etc for Windows, download the "Critical Update Notification" tool from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com </tip> Olly - www.gnarly.f2s.com -
