I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

I've heard of this virus but its a joke... I don't have any antivirus software (mainly because it slows down game performance) and I didn't catch anything. I heard it hit Australia pretty hard though.

Anyone who doesn't have a computer without good anti virus is asking for some serious pain imo.

You should get some. I didn't update Norton (yeah, I used to have Norton) for like a few months once and was going along all "I'm immune to viruses bitch!" then spent 3 days getting rid of a rootkit. After that I uninstalled Norton and downloaded Avast ;)
They pull out the truncheon, that's when the trouble starts.

I welcome viruses (but don't go out of my way to find them, I actually download things wisely and if I suspect a virus I upload it to symantec's site. It's only amusing when they trick me because I learn from it.)

I back up regularly, and enjoy the occasional challenge. When that doesn't work I just D-BAN my drive, I generally need a good cleaning by then anyhow. ;)
