Any and all Win NT/2000/XP users should IMMEDIATELY go to http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-026.asp and download the patch within (especially, but not exclusively if you've been getting "Remote-Procedure-Call" errors that have been forcing restarts. Then, its a cure, otherwise its preventative). Next, update your anti-virus software and run a full system scan. Look here for more info, or if you don\'t have an updatable anti-virus program installed . My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Please, please, if you're reading this and running Windows XP, 2000, or NT IMMEDIATELY go and download the patch! This virus sucks nasty ass. We should sic Drura on whoever the bastard was who created it. White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So... many... possibilities.
