I May Be M.i.a. For Awhile..., But I'm okay, don't worry Options

I'M okay, but my computer is NOT! It got virus-infected somehow last night, and I can't do much of anything on it at all. I can used friend's computers, but probably only once a day and only for a little while...

So don't worry if you don't hear too much from me for awhile--Ladywolf and I are okay, it's just computer problems. Bummer!!!

Thanks Jorge, Adminstrator and Madi--

The problem continues--I've been infected by "Antivirus Live," a particularly aggressive and nasty piece of carp--but help is hopefully on its way. This weekend, there will be a nerd around who hopefully can fix it all up for me. I'd like to totally reformat the hard-drive and don't know if he'll have time to do all that, but at least we should be able to get rid of ANTIVIRUS!! Meanwhile, I am just using friends' computers.

Thanks for your concern and help. I do know about UBUNTU, Madi, and I have a flash drive, so am considering that option temporarily too. Thanks for your info and offer!

I SHALL return victorious! I did SOME battle with this thing (with a REAL antivirus program) yesterday, let me tell you, but I lost. Now I sure understand why they use names like "Trojan" to describe these things. They are some hideous, insidious critters!!!

Thanks again for your help--I'll keep you posted...

Hi all--

Well, I've won a battle, but am still losing the war. I downloaded Firefox onto my zip drive and am running off that, so at least I can check email, etc. I feel somewhat triumphant...thank you so much for the idea, Madi.

This weekend the geek squad will attack and eliminate this horrid thing forever, I hope. A friend has offered to pay for it, bless him.

Hugs--Margi and the Wolf
