Sleepless Sunday

Well, it's football sunday, I guess. A ton of work to do as always, and I am sitting here peeping over the top of the monitor to see the big screen so I can watch the game as well.

My girlfriend's computer got another virus, this time "trojan.lowzones", which is a nice rootkit type deal. I don't know where she manages to get this shit from... it's truly amazing. Some of this stuff is really VERY hard to get rid of, embedding itself in various startup locations. This one looked easier, but it was very persistant and online help was very thin on the ground.

Windows update is next, I guess.

Kickoff time is upon us... off to see.
