Google, MyDoom.F removal tools, laundry and King Cake

Wired has a really good post about things Google. This is a well written comprehensive look at the best search engine on the planet. It's nice that Yahoo is making strides in this area, but Google is the place to go for an intense search. Besides, I trust Google. Popups and spam seem to hover around Yahoo, yet they have made great strides with spam. If you are using their mail and still getting loads of spam, slow down. sign in and redo your settings.

MyDoom.F is running amok. One big difference between "F" and earlier versions - this one deletes files from your hard drive!!! Symantec has a removal tool as does Sophos. If you haven't updated your virus scan in the last 24 hours stop reading this and go do it now!! Then, run a scan!! Remember, this version deletes files from your hard drive. Heads up people; if you update your virus definitions and run a virus scan daily then the need for removal tools disappears.

Must finish this phase of laundry. Yes Rhonda, I separated the whites and used bleach (everyone needs a Laundry Witch). Verdana and Uncle Snake, the King Cake was awesome and I found the baby, LOL. For those good souls interested AVG, Adaware and Spy Sweeper posted new updates earlier today.
