Ironic?

This was inevitable - W32.Cuebot-K spreads via through AIM and disguises itself as Windows Genuine Advantage on infected PCs.. PCWorld calls it ironic, but some hacker had this plotted and launched at either an appropriate or inappropriate time depending on how you want to call it. Spyware sucks! So do virus infections.

Ubuntu, a flavor of Linux, is an alternative to Windows. It uses the GNOME graphic user interface and has some neat features. Note to KDE users; you need Kubuntu. Install was simple, it had no problems with older hardware and found the network and internet smoothly. Will keep you updated about it's use at the beach house.
