this is the first time in years and years that i've seen such a thing. honestly. the last time i saw any kind of worm or virus or anything of the sort was about 2004. i don't run anything to counter it. it's actually very hard to get infected, but those library machines are kind of going to be swarming with shit and i should have been more careful...guess i got complacent...

as mentioned, it couldn't do anything on my machine. the instructions would just error out. that's by design. no, bill, we don't need telnet. but, it can replicate itself and keep going. and that just might be what's been pissing me off....!

there's no sign of it in any of the registries. no remnant files. i formatted the key. i wiped the device. it's gone. but, it might be it...
