You really should not have removed the fan screen. Now you have to deal wit=

malodorous ware of the worst kind. I suspect that your only choice will be=

to remove the case, and leave the computer in the middle of the street on a=

warm day; let the carrion eaters handle the deceased rodent.

you left a security hole of the worst kind... allowing physical access to
your machine by rodentia. but now you need to ask your question again in a
group that is about non-computer pest control and/or gas masks.

I'm afraid your computer has been infected by a new security threat
known as stinkware. This is truly rotten software taken to new heights.

Please download, install, UPDATE and run the following scanners:

SkunkwareBlaster

Stinkware Search & Destroy

NoseAware

Let us know what you find.

lol thanks to all with an open mind and a sense of humor
for replying. I just wanted to keep things lively and make
some people laugh, what with all the serious, sometimes
depressing posts regarding security, viruses, spyware,
etc.; I hope I was able to accomplish that (making people
laugh, that is). It was all in good fun!

Out of all the funny replies, I think I enjoyed Lance's
the most!
