I did not see the date the article in the blog was written. I doubt that the author is aware of the worm I'm going to write about. It invaded my laptop about two or three weeks ago. It is about six inches in the diameter. In the center is a dog with a very long neck. As the circle with the dog appears two open hands start appearing and covering every part of the worm except the face and neck of dog. There are no exit windows. The dog is not clickable. You can't get rid of it in any way other than unplugging the PC and taking out the battery. First time I did within 5 minutes of its appearance. Yesterday (Dec. 9, 2005) it appeared again about 5P>M and I was foolish enough to keep trying to get rid of it for about half an hour. Eventually it disppeared as quietly as it appeared. That was near the end of the day. I logged off and went home. To-day I can't start the computer. I get error messages telling me thyat the PC must be shut down

I never thought that appearance of pop-ups would be lucky. To-day the Pop-ups keep on appearing with increased frequency and I consider it lucky because I use one of these popups to transact my business because it give me a way to log on to other sites by entering the URLs in the tool bar of these pop ups.

This illustrates the need to develop a new browser that resides in the server instead of the client. I've been discussing that for some time now. I hope I draw the attention of some large corporations to their genrosity for some donations that I can use as seed capital to develop the new breowsing syste.

I hope the blog owner would let my comments stay in the interest of technology and the nuisance being created by trouble mongers.
