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!!!!!!!!
