So I caught a virus...a pretty nasty one.....that shut my computer down. It is called antivirus xp 2008. I feel a little weird about even writing that...... thinking that it might come back to hunt me down! I have been dealing with it since Sunday.....My last post. All I did was post my 2 last posts....check my email. And boom.....This thing attacked.
Pop ups blasted me every 30 or so seconds.....My screen went blue....a horrible blue.....and it would go "ding","ding", "ding" you know sorta like that horrible alarm clock, or kids toy...... McAfee did nothing, Ad alert did nothing......Nothing worked!
$150 bucks...... and 1 computer geek later.....(no he wasn't a geek, very professional) I have a computer that is bare bones....waiting for me to reinstall everything.....I am so excited(joking). I can say that it runs much faster now though!
I have to tell you...the only thing that saved us was our external hard drive. Because I have pictures that have never been printed or developed. IE...Brodie's birth....Esther's Birth..... I have had my camera for 4 years now and have printed maybe a hand full, out of the hundreds I have..... And it all still sits quietly on my external hard drive......Wonderful! especially for the $ that I paid..... so if there are any recommendations I can make...... that is it! Buy one.....It will save you.
I will post more, really I will...... but I need to start working on re-doing my computer.
