BZZT! But thank you for playing.
Don't *RE*-install. If you got whacked by a bot on Monday, and re-install
Sunday's configuration of software on Tuesday, all that means is that Wednesday
you'll get re-whacked. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Install *SOMETHING ELSE*. Something less vulnerable to all this manure.
(I'll mention the *other* alternative, replacing/upgrading the user, mostly
for completeness and so we can all have a good chuckle)
