So yeah, performing my ritual cleansing of the computer.

Going through, deleting things, running my anti-spyware stuff, defragging, etc.

I go to housecall, run a scan. I have 11 files infected by a worm. Not just any worm, the SDDROP.C worm.

*headdesk*

This is ALMOST as bad as the time that I found a trojan porno dialer on my computer. After I'd removed the dial-up modem.

I get the gayest virii. A 3rd rate browser hijack does more damage than this POS worm I just killed. =/

I'm so disappointed in the internet..

[edit]
I don't think anyone who's replied to this post so far has really gotten the gist of it.
I'm not disappointed in the fact that i HAVE(had) a virus.
I'm disappointed in the fact that it's a lame, do-nothing virus.
I mean c'mon, when's the last time SDDROP.C did ANYTHING, let alone posed a threat?

And according to dictionary.com, "vir" is the prefix to anything regarding "viruses", and "ii" is to mean something plural. Hence, "virii" = "more than one virus."

kthx.
