Ahhh... My internet at last. :)
I CAN GO ONLINE!! Yeee!
For once I'm so so so incredibly happy that I use Windows 98 as compared to the newer systems, because WINDOWS 98 ISN'T EFFECTED BY THE NASTY BUG!!! ::happy dances::
Though now that I've said that, I'm sure I jinxed it...
Ooo, and I just heard from the Today Show that the worm is now attacking the Microsoft home page, so you all that don't have it stay away from there, and if you have recently visited it, go find your Temporary Internet Files folder and delete all your cookies. (temporary internet files is where the computer keeps all the html and such it takes to open a website so if you're working off-line, you can still open webpages you've been to recently or open websites that sometimes take a while to open faster, cause most of the information is already saved on your computer. Deleting everything in that folder shouldn't do any damage to your computer, but MAKE SURE you're in the right folder before deleting anything. What I do is go to the "find files" option in the Start menu and do a search for 'temporary internet,' leaving off the 'files' part off the title cause since it's a keyword search, it'll give you every file on your computer that has "file" in the html title. The Temporary Internet Files should be one of the first folders the search finds.)
