Me too! Well, it didn't fuck up my harddrive, but so many things stopped working that worked the day before.

-Media Player would open a file, and crash
-Some hyperlinks wouldn't open in some pages (none on GFY)
-My mouse software was buggering up (buttons wouldn't work)
-Windows update wouldn't launch
-fonts were screwed up in Hotmail etc.
-Add/remove programs wouldn't start
-control panel/administrative tools/services - I couldn't right click on anything to change settings, no menu would pop up
-computer would hang on start up
-computer would hang once I got past the password login page
-couldn't start up in safe mode...

And on, and on!

So, I reinstalled Windows 2k, put the machine behind a linksys, and everything works 1005 now!
Ugh! Unfortunately we were among the very first people hit, and when I went looking to find out wtf was wrong with my computer, nobody even acknowledged that there was a problem yet. Everyone now knows what to do because there are sites on it etc, but if you let it go too long, it kills your harddrive. My system wouldn't even see that there was a drive c there. We had to take the hardrive out of the computer, put it into another system as a slave and run recovery software on it. It was a very tedious process
