viral infection

AGAIN...

once again my poor computer has fallen victim to a viral infestation of who-knows-what from the Internet. this marks 3 computers in 6 years that have bit the dust do to circumstances mainly out of my control. the first computer, sure i was downloading from an unsafe musical 'borrowing' site here and there, but i learned my lesson after the screen of death invaded my main page. the second computer caught some nasty postpartum GA virus just as i got to los angeles. AND since i had learned my lesson, i didn't do any crazy downloading, and kept my antivirus software up to date like it was my religion.

Apparently hackers are getting more sophisticated ... which seems to be correlating with me becoming more broke. Honestly people, don't you realize that if you steal my bank info then crash my computer that there is only less money for you to then steal from me because I'm being asked to spend $199 to get my old comp back, $350 to get a new laptop, or pondering the $1,000 for a mac book that doesn't fall victim to your antics.


the nasty virus that my laptop has

I think the most frustrating part is that I read how to get rid of it, followed all the directions, had my computer running great for 2 days, then BAMMMM. Computer no longer turns on. Uhhhh ... yeah.
