computer help!! bots/are attacking!!

this laptop had win7 and ubuntu 10.10 ..dual boot...

Me too. I hardly ever fire up the Windows OS. I can search and browze and well,......."screw around" and I HAVE YET to get a problem brought in through Linux (Ubuntu.) Better yet, I can "see" the Winhozed partition from Linux, so if I need to download something that "belongs" to Whinehore, I can just lay in right into the partion, until I boot up next.
