The Lyrics

I don't know what it is that made my PC die
I only know it makes me really want to cry
It's called 'Klez' or something
What can it be?
Ever since that email it's infected me
Now my PC's kaputt
I only want the thing to boot

Not only is a virus there called Lissajou
I think I've picked up Nimda and Melissa, too
McAfee is helpless, it's been a while
I never could download that anti-virus file
Though chances are minute
I only want the thing to boot

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\Software\Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Ten viruses - I'm stuffed!

Do they want money?
I just want my PC back to work again
This constant virus-cleaning is a total pain
Restarted Windows
In DOS - what a feat
Just so I could get this bloody file to delete
A three-fingered salute
I only want the thing to boot

In HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software\Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Ten viruses - I'm stuffed!

It isn't funny!
In Outlook email viruses are everywhere
As long as I keep using Outlook, best beware
I even found something
The "Slapper" worm
According to McAfee that's a Linux germ
My PC must be screwed
I only want the thing to boot
Oh no matter, I'll chuck it down the chute
I only, I only, I only, I only,
I only want the thing to boot

As they say in Brooklyn, "Poifect scoaw, pal! Ya done good." Though they are the hand that feeds this site, potshots at computers are always welcome: "I have discovered the computer's god: It's an Old Testament god, with lots of rules and no mercy." -- Joseph Campbell, religion and mythology expert

I feel your pain. This whole thing could be a marketing ploy for Vista, but I think you've got that covered pretty good. 555
