Sad (and Annoyed!)
« on: March 18, 2005, 11:08:12 am »

I've just discovered my pc has a mega virus and will have to be restored to factory settings.  It's only eight months old and has the latest virus software so I'm not happy.  Apparently it didn't even come from an attachment, just something to do with MSN.  It'll take me about a week to save everything before I do the dreaded restore.


Be warned everyone!

Thanks for the warning Goldencup.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

I can still post during my breaks at work, when I can actually get onto a pc.  But mine is still very unwell.

You people need Apple Macs... there is no known virus to have ever infected the Mac Operating system. Strange but true. They only sell Mac virus software to stop virus's being spread through them to ordinary PCs.
