Supposedly this worm will start doing its dirty work on April 1.
There is a strong possibility that you do not have this worm.
However, if you think you might be infected or would like to run the removal tool just in case, use the following link:
http://www.bdtools.net/how-to-remove-downadup.php
This will take you to a bitdefender page on the topic that will give you the download.
The tool is simple to run.
If you do not have an infection it will give you a nice message telling you.
If you do have the infection it will provide the options for removal.
If you have a different anti-virus program that you prefer working with, then just do a quick search on their site for any special removal tool.
Or, make sure to update all your anti-virus definitions and do a full system scan before April 1.
It is not a bad idea to do a full scan in any case.
Your anti-virus program does you little good if it is not updated or if you don't do a scan every now and then.

Online Classes Update
Blueline Academy on Justin.tv continues now into its third month. In the past 90 days, this format has demonstrated itself to be an excellent means of interesting folks in classes and further work with the material.
Something that I had not anticipated at first, which has proven to be a major hit with class members, is the review of homework from other participants. Although justin.tv does not have a co-hosting feature (yet) it is simple enough to have folks email me their gaming orbs before class so that I may review and comment on them during the broadcast.
The chat provides a convenient venue for asking questions during the class. And since the chat is literally off to the side, I can address questions immediately or hold them in abeyance until a suitable point in the class -- whichever suits the moment.
This definitely improves the online classroom tutorial interaction.
By the way, justin.tv is just one of several such hosting situations. And, it may not be the best. It just happens to be the one that I am experimenting with at the moment.
