a strange file appeared on my desktop out of nowhere. i emailed the Help Desk about it, and they had someone check it out. it was a virus. they cleaned my harddrive. never the one to do things in a small way, i had seventeenhundred infected files. yay me! but don't think i'm a knucklehead who's been opening up strange emails (what kind of guy do you think i am?). someone's been using my computer late at night, and he or she picked it up in his or her web meanderings. my biggest worry, of course, was that in all the 'Delete Files' the tech would be doing, i'd lose my Buffy wallpaper. thank grog he didn't touch it.
