Look out, make sure your medicine cabinets are filled with the latest non-expired virus definitions, there's a bug out there so bad it will immediately make your life miserable. Last Friday I came home from work and I noticed the old internal disk was churning in a most uncomfortable way. By about 8pm it was dumping malware all over the place, from both the input device, and the output device. Around that same time my wife reported the same error, by 10pm her system dumped out her input device directly after she had inputted some code. By midnight our systems were dumping constantly, rebooting didn't help, no matter what fix we tried to apply we were still left with a massive system crash. It's unfortunate we don't have a firewall running on our internal network, but as most will tell you it's a pain when you wanna play games or have a little fun when you have to deal with some type of protection device. Anyway by midnight I decided it was time to seek some professional help, so we headed to the local ER. There they had the latest malware destroyers, and their virus definitions were up to date. They were able to bypass the normal input devices and get their patch in without the virus detecting it. While they weren't able to completely delete the virus, they were able to quarantine it which allowed my already installed immune system to destroy it completely.
I'd just like to say if you find yourself in a similar situation, and you have some type of extended software/hardware support coverage, get to an ER. They will be able to get your system cleaned up and running like new in no time.
