Thanks EVERYONE!!! for all the IT related feedback for my virus problem yesterday.

It has been in my IT groups hands since yesterday and I hear they are almost done.

If its the virus that I'm thinking of, it blocks most antimalware/AV websites and disables your AV/antimalware programs...including running them in safe mode. After scanning from a clean computer several times, I have to use a regedit called "fixexe" to reassociate all the file types with their proper commands.
For the last several computers I've worked on, it ended up being easier to just recover the documents and reinstall the OS. However, I sometimes like a challenge so cleaning and defeating it was more fun.
Finally, after talking with the owners of the infected computers, I have found that most of the viruses probably came from rogue banner adds. (several of the people used their infected computers ONLY on facebook). I've gotten several warnings from my AV software obout blocked scripts - including several right here on PPCgeeks - that could have caused problems had they not been stopped. So, always run good and updated antivirus software and sandboxing is a good idea too as previously mentioned.

Now back to our regularly scheduled forum thread.

Hey Mike,
I'm anxiously awaiting your next release! I have a VIRGIN Touchpro running a stock ROM 2 that is only a week old and is waiting to be flashed with your latest ROM.
I'm coming over from the TP (RootROM) and have been doing my research and look forward to trying out one of yuor excellent ROM's this weekend.

David
