Few new things:

There's a new version of the Funneh worm out, I haven't had a chance to find out much about it, but at least part of it is already removed by AIMFix. I will try to dig into this later tonight and see if I can't come up with some new updates.

Secondly, I finally got a Windows testing PC. It appears to be somewhat on the slow side, and it's not liking the idea of running Microsoft Virtual PC on a 700mhz machine. It runs ok here at work on our faster machines (actually quite fast) so I had hoped it would work well, but no such luck. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet; I may end up buying a copy of VMWare so that I can just run Windows virtual machines under Linux, but VMWare is about 200 dollars, so we'll see.

Coolest of all, I should be receving a couple packages today. I am expecting delivery of a free photo ipod from Gratis Internet, thanks to all the people who completed offers through my referral link. A big thank you to all of you, I can't wait to open this baby up and check it out! I also should be receiving a new laptop today. I ordered a newer laptop (IBM Thinkpad) on ebay to replace my old Thinkpad, since my old laptop will be going with my best friend to Germany for his study abroad. I'm looking forward to my first laptop that's faster than a 700mhz :)

Last night I also finally got my copy of The Art of Computer Virus Research and Defense and made it through the first chapter. I'm hoping it will give me somewhat of a jumping-off point for future versions of virus removal tools and ways to improve my removal tool(s). I'm more than aware that AIMFix could be improved in a myriad of ways, but I really just sort of stumbled into all this with no idea where I was going. It's time I either decide to drop AIMFix as a project, or delve into it and give it the attention it needs to be improved to the level I'd like.
