...6) Oh yeah ( and yes i had a cus who did this ) Don't boot to a dos and type in format and hit enter twice.

They probably hooked it up to the bench's LAN and another system that was infected hit your system since both were not patched.

I got one, courtesy of Best Buy. Seriously, I brought in my laptop for repair and found the msblaster virus on it. Go figure.

I would not be suprised if they put it on there, intentionally. Best buy is a rip off.

The only thing I buy from there now are blank CD's and DVD's.

They probably wanted to pay you $50 for their anti-virus removal.

1) Don't open mail with an attachment unless you are expecting it

2) Don't open spam

3) Turn the preview pane off in email program

4) Keep your av up to date

5) For the love of all that is good don't open any .scr file you got from an email

Maybe they wanted to milk you for more money to repair the thing.
