In case you didnt have enough stuff to worry about downloading off the internet. Virus scanners just might not be enough, According to this article about 10% of all computers are now posessed by demons. I'm gonna be setting up one of those liquid cooled CPU deals and busting out with holy water though. Seems reasonable.

Rev. Peasboro advises that if you suspect your computer is possessed, you consult a clergyman or, if the computer is still under warranty, take it in for servicing. He says, "Technicians can replace the hard drive and reinstall the software, getting rid of the wicked spirit permanently."
update Jack - Looks like someone's watching too much Buffy.

  • here we go!!
    The minister said he probed one such case, actually logging
    onto the parishioner\'s computer himself. To his surprise, an
    artificial-intelligence program fired up -- without him clicking it
    on. \"The program began talking directly to me, openly
    mocked me,\" he recalls. \"It typed out, \'Preacher, you are a
    weakling and your God is a damn liar.\' \"

    Then the device went haywire and started printing out what
    looked like gobbledygook.

    \"I later had an expert in dead languages examine the text,\"
    the minister said. \"It turned out to be a stream of obscenities
    written in a 2,800-year-old Mesopotamian dialect!\"

    yes!
    that \"2,800-year-old Mesopotamian dialect\" can be none other than ASCII!! =)
