OT OS issue

Best bet is:

1) back up any data,
2) format and reinstall,
3) apply all patches,
4) reconfigure and reinstall any necessary 3rd party
stuff.

That is bound to be the safest and fastest method of
fixing it.

Alternatively,
1) back up any data,
2) backoff any recent changes.
3) This may work, but probably won't.
4) This is of course the fastest way of attempting to
fix, refer to rule #3.

No, he's just trying to put the rest of the US IT
industry out of work, in order to kill off all
software competition in the US. Resistance is futile. ;')
