<p>For the last few days I&#8217;ve been subjected to hearing just about every customer, talk-radio personality, tech blogger, and news anchor talking about it and expressing concern over it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m betting there&#8217;s a doomsday-scenario freak somewhere at whatever tech security firm discovered the supposed &#8216;worm&#8217; that blew the whole idea of this virus out of proportion and now everyone is paying the price for his paranioa.</p>
<p>Then again-I&#8217;ll gladly scan your computer for viruses (for a fee) and install antivirus software (for a fee) and even install security updates for your operating system (for a fee).</p>
<p>Maybe I shouldn&#8217;t complain&#8230;those &#8216;doomsday freaks&#8217; are who keep geeks like me in a job.</p>
<p>Godspeed.</p>
