Miscellaneous: Boot And Reboot

It was bound to happen eventually. After years of roaming the Wild West ranges of the internet, never troubling no man and receiving no trouble in kind, I finally got winged.

My primary computer came down with a case of malware on Friday afternoon. It’s not even a particularly bad case; just a blitz of pop-up ads (for anti-malware software, very funny). Thanks to Rosemarie’s tech know-how, we’ve narrowed the trouble down to a single tenacious file that refuses to be killed.

For the time being I’ve switched to my laptop, a machine that, truth be told, I prefer anyway. I may not be posting much until we get the matter resolved. But we’re not letting it spoil the fun. Behold!

Comics: Two, Please

This week’s installment is below or here.

The exact same thing happened to me this weekend, with the exact same malware virus.

Start backing up your files now because I see a restore and reinstall in your future.

If you have a Dell they have a seperate partition with a restore program that in 15 minutes will restore your PC to the way it came out of the box. But it will wipe out all your files however. Still it is better than a copmplete Windows install.
