You've got a virus. Oh noes! What do you do? Well, the first and best thing to do is to simply power down the computer without clicking anything at all, period. Just hold the power button down until your computer shuts off, then call your neighborhood Geekchick to come take care of that for you.

Sorry, My marketing friend said I should say that. While you can bail yourself out if you need to, you probably cannot do anything to make better what has just or is about to happen to you. Chances are however, that you've already screwed up and clicked on something that's got your system compromised.

Do you have an open wireless network? Well if you do, you should be glad you're not living in the BDR. Following a recent case where an accused "pirate" pointed out that since his wireless was open for anyone to use, the supposed "proof" that he was downloading - his IP - proved nothing - the court summarily declared that to be illegal, and now the cops are supposedly going to be war-driving your neighborhood, and writing tickets for unsecured wirelesses.
