I think I'll give up and go to bed....odds are that it'll hit when I'm not watching so I might as well chill out...

Ran BitDefender's tool on all my systems. It says I'm clean.

Ironically, or perhaps not, I can't update my Windows Defender or Windows itself (Vista Business SP1).

What a pain in the ass.

Microsoft is always a little behind on the times.
