[pchelpers] Re: mysterious reboot loop

  Hey gcox, isn't that the virus that showed up on many computers back a
couple of weeks ago. One of the friends here had the same thing on her work
computer.  Maybe someone on the list remembers what the fix was but you
should be able to find information on any of the AntiVirus web pages.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
