ooooh so frustrating...

So I got a virus. Well I didn't get the virus, my computer did. I used to have really strong anti-virus protection but switched it not too long ago and it seems that one got through and now my computer is frozen. Thankfully I have a laptop a friend lent me so I can still access the internet [otherwise it would really be a crisis!!! ;)] and do the basic things I need to do. My fil is a computer 'genius' and will fix it when he gets back from Greece next month. In the mean time I'll have to get by.

Now, more than ever I wish I understood computers more. I only know basics, none of the behind the scenes stuff at all. Perhaps I need to take a few computer courses. Hmmm, something to think about.

what antivirus were you running?

The Rogers one. I used to have a Sophos one from fil's work but he couldn't use it anymore since he retired. He's going to install something new when he gets home.

I feel your pain. I am pretty lucky. My hubby is my computer genius and he is available all the time. Hopefully you can manage with the laptop until yours gets fixed.
