My h...We got this virus on our computer last night. My husband was up until 1am, then at it again this morning trying to clean up after it. Our virus protection didn't detect it. He found a free software program online, along with instructions, and was able to get everything working by 11am this morning (went to work late). Luckily, there doesn't seem to be anything lost or harmed, but who knows. We have no idea how it got infected. The only thing I did out of the ordinary before this happened, was to click on an ad from someone's blog about earning money through blogging. I try not to open any unknown emails or attachments. What a pain!Bill and Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489582642328030311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-54690773311869395452008-08-25T21:06:00.000-07:002008-08-25T21:06:00.000-07:00That sucks Mikael...jerks!That sucks Mikael...jerks!photogchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14822162590502709534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-83502708928687766712008-08-25T17:17:00.000-07:002008-08-25T17:17:00.000-07:00Ouch!I've been very lucky so far *touch wood* but ...Ouch!<BR/><BR/>I've been very lucky so far *touch wood* but I don't doubt one will get me sooner or later!Geckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869977105238208893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-33702877615261371322008-08-25T07:19:00.000-07:002008-08-25T07:19:00.000-07:00Hi MiKaelI have had to adopt a no leaving computer...Hi MiKael<BR/>I have had to adopt a no leaving computer online policy as well as opening NO spam forwarded spam or messages with attachments even if I recognise the sender unless they have told me to expect it.<BR/><BR/>I can't afford to jeopardise all of my photo files even if I do have them backed up.<BR/><BR/>Every few nights I will leave my computer running but disconnect the internet so it can do a virus scan. If I am going to be away from the computer for any length of time I will often take it off line but leave it running so when I get back I can just re-enable to internet. These sites like U-Tube and all the other photo sites are a ripe hunting ground for people who get their jollies from causing people problems. The robots gather up all the e-mail addresses in one foul swoop.<BR/><BR/>Hope you get everything sorted and back to normal soon, I missed your posts.<BR/><BR/>LoriLori Schmidt (LoriProPhoto)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786227217137143996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-38651508545480929482008-08-25T07:09:00.000-07:002008-08-25T07:09:00.000-07:00Well that stinks, I've had it happen too.

Ya know, cancer is sort of a huge problem. These smart people could be curing that instead of spending all this time on viruses.Kateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539642068473264986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-75385179319270227162008-08-25T05:59:00.000-07:002008-08-25T05:59:00.000-07:00Oooh!
