I thought the virus infection I mentioned the other day was all that was. Unfortunately, it isn’t so. Apparently, one of the computers in V26 was infected with a worse virus: Win32.Sality. What’s so bad you ask? It steals passwords! Being the cautious person I am, I decided to change some passwords for my more important accounts since I’ve used that PC before.

For the more technical inclined, the virus spreads by many ways. One of which is to append itself to .exe files it comes across. Yes, you got it: The whole PC is infected. Every single .exe files are infected. No other way than to do a reinstall.

Worried and don’t have an anti-virus software? I’m no fan of Symantec’s products (they make the Norton series if you didn’t know) so I’ll recommend you a free antivirus that’s quite popular: AVG.

Thanks for the offer but I can’t possibly go for this because (1) I’m not even out of school; (2) I’m not in UK. Apparently, somebody “subscribed” my email for this thing. Well…
