True IT blooper #28: Bugged by a virus Your computer is flatlining, the victim of a vile and vicious virus. Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters aren't gonna be any help, unless your CPU is possessed (a sure sign of that is pea soup spewing from the disk drive). Southern Californians call Doctor Don to save the day, and more importantly, the files. The good doctor probably wouldn't have needed to make this particular house call if the patient had been up to date on its shots, so to speak.
