I have known people get infected in this short period.
Now you tell me! I recently re formatted the hard drive on my PC and having missed being on the net, I went online straight away instead of loading up my Anti-Virus first!....WRONG!!

My pc now closes down by itself even before the operating system has opened fully and I have been advised that it is the "Blaster" virus that is causing it. I can't even go on line to d/load the tools that are available.
