  • If any of you were wondering why I haven't ben around for the past week... here's why.

    Around early Thursday Morning, I was just about to get offline and when all of a sudden, this anti-virus program started to pop up and I got these two little surprises popped up on my desktop. I mean, I had these scans pop up everywhere.

    So, I started to panic and I quickly got offline. I then ran for my external hard drive and got all of my files (music, pictures, fanfics) copied into it incase all hell broke loose.

    So, I talked to one of my friends at work and he told me that my computer is pretty much dead. So, upon impluse, I decided to buy a new computer last Friday.

    Boy, that was a bad idea. I got a new Compaq for $330 and for some reason, I couldn't get online with it!!! it didn't want to take my ISPs. Plus, I hated that Vista took FOREVER to load up. Even my parents hated it so much.

    So, I talked to my buddy down the street and I told him what was going on. Then, he said he could get it fixed up for me. He has all the latest anti-virus downloads and stuff. So, I dropped my old computer over my house for him to work on it.

    So, I did that and he told me what the total anti-virus scan he did found in my system.

    14 major viruses. Over 200 pieces of spyware. And a nice trojan horse virus that disguised itself as an anti-virus program. And that one he couldn't get rid of. Until a Windows Update got rid of it.

    So, I now have my beloved system back in my house. All running like new thanks to a lot of much needed Windows updates.

    I'M FINALLY BACK ONLINE!!!!!!!!

  • Ouch! That really sucks. D: I haven't had virus issues in ages, but when my computer was broken last year, I went maaaaad... at least I had the computers in the computer room downstairs to get on PC, though.

    Glad to hear you're back, though!

    Wow, what a mess. 14 major viruses?!! 200 worth of spyware?! And a trojan horse virus disguised itself as a anti-virus progam?! Wowzers! That is a lot of stuff going on your computer. And that isn't good. D:

    I had a trojan horse before, and boy it was bad. Like when I open a new link it will open a new tab...and it will keep on doing it. And then my pages will have big text. And my keyboard and mouse will stop working. D: But I got it taken care of. Thank goodness.

    YAY! I am glad you gotten your computer fixed though and you are back. ^^

    So what happened to your new computer that you brought last Friday?
