Computer Woes
Sunday, January 18, 2009 at 06:26PM We had a MAJOR malicious attack on our computer yesterday. We've figured out at least part of it; somehow an intruder got in to our Security Center and shut down our Automatic Windows Update and also got into our AV program and disabled it. Not sure which came first. You can imagine all the gremlins THAT let in the open door!! We were able to get our AV program fixed, but our Windows Automatic Update program appears to be totally corrupted. We tried to do a manual Windows Update, but it won't allow it. Grrr. Plus the gremlins invited a search engine redirecter in, so everytime I try to search for solutions, I get redirected to other websites. Double Grrr.
So, if I disappear for a while, either the computer is in the shop or I'm waiting for a new one to be delivered.
Thankfully, I can borrow Tom's laptop in the evenings, so I'll be back one way or another.
See you then!

That is such an invasion- it makes me feel vulnerable when stuff like that happens. Sorry about the computer monsters out there!
That is so completely frustrating! I hope you can find some fun acitivities to fill your time while your computer is "getting better." I'm feeling for you though...that's tough!
