I don't use anything but Kubuntu Jaunty right now and have 2 of my 3 computers 
down right now.  The problem may have been in the computer too long.  There  
were a progressive several  changes until I can boot up now, but I cannot get 
anything Internet related to function anymore.

I have repeated the story to so many that you probably already   know how the 
virus worked, so now the problem is to get virus removal software into the 
computer somehow,.  Since package managers and the shell require internet 
connection to download and install applications that has been lost in the 
offended computer.  I suspect I am wrong about that, but perhaps not.  If I 
download a virus application to the laptop, I believe I need to have an 
executable package so that I can put it on a thumb drive or CD to install it 
in the other computer.  I never learned to install tar balls and have only 
heard about them, but unless they are executable, how do I open them.

My daughter's computer and several family computers are Microsoft computer, so 
that must be why I haven't heard from them recently.  I probably sent it to 
them.  I haven't researched what  the bug may be, because everyone but me is 
convinced I don't have one, and I am usually the one who is wrong in cases 
like this.  Anyway, what should I do, Martin?  By the way, when looking for 
Virus software for kubuntu Jaunty, I came up with Klamov on one case.  Does it 
make a difference whether it is for gnome or kubuntu?
