Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of it so be warned.
It appears to affect mostly those who were born before 1960.
I believe this virus has spread from my computer to my workshop. Here are some symptoms that I observed with appologies to Dave Letterman.
10. A board that I carefully measured, marked and cut at precisely 59 1/4 inches long instantly shrank to precisely 58 1/4 inches on the short trip from the saw to the bench.
9. A cabin cabinet frame that I carefully built to the my trailer's inside dimension of 57 1/2 inches wide grew overnight to the galley cabninet width of 59 1/4 inches.
8. I found my self making frequent trips to Lowes for screws and other small items that I could've sworn that I had left over from other projects.
7. I find myself trying to sink screws into pocket holes that already have screws in them. "Strange, "I don't remember driving that screw."
6. "Where the Hell did I put that tape measure? I used it just one minute ago. Oh, here it is clipped to my belt."
5. "Honey, have you seen my goggles? Whaddya mean I'm wearing them? Oh, I guess I am. Sorry, never mind. Thanks anyway"
4. My son, a vocational H.S. student majoring in carpentry, comes running into the basement in stark terror whenever he hears the table saw running.
3. I replaced a jig saw, that I threw out last year because it was broken. Two weeks later said saw suddenly reappeared in the bottom drawer of my tool chest in perfect working order.
2. I cut my finger on a razor blade while trying to fashion a jig. On the way to see the doctor, I realized that I didn't need the jig. A combination square and a pencil would've accomplished the same thing with a lot less blood.
And the number one symptom of C-Nile infestation in my workshop....
1. I'm obsessed with the idea of building a camping trailer that is about the size of a shoe box.
