Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** Visibility changed to: Public

** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability

  Im just trying to in install ubuntu and its updates from the live 10.10 CD included with the Ubuntu unleashed official book. I dont know much about the OS or what information is needed to be given exactly in this bug report so i appoligies. Om previously a windows user but my network was compromised and I believe I'm getting DoS attacks and all my systems are zombies. I have wiped my hdd but it goes alot deper than that. It resembles the conflictor and TDSS.TDL-4 worms that ive looked up. There are tools and security update releases offered from all major OS and virus protection companies but I cant upgrade anything it seems with security related things.
