Viruses Sailing Around

Over the years I have seen quite a few "bad" viruses being sent over the internet. I haven't had issues with most of those, but know people that have. I haven't had a virus on my computer since 1995. Until two weeks ago that is. Two weeks ago I was sitting on a news website (not CNN) when my computer starting acting very strangely.

We tried letting our AV software take care of it, to no avail. We tried so many ways to get rid of it. No luck, so as the computer geeks that we are we knew the last option we had was to go back to manufacture state. Yep, we wiped everything on this computer off. It took hours to get this awful virus gone, but we managed it.
