FU VERY MUCH

I managed to dl a virus that not only attacked my computer, but shut down all known methods of system restore. I have an external drive with a fairly recent backup, and have made a new backup of my wordfiles and some picture and music files, but if I try to restore from the partition it goes black and makes a horrible alarm noise, and all other methods have either been removed completely from the computer as far as I can tell, or tell me that access has been blocked.

The guy at Best Buy was nice but said it would be $200 plus take ten days, and then told me where to google, but google only tells me how to do things with the bits of my computer that the virus have eaten. I'm hoping one of mom's computer geek friends can do something.

I hope a bird is shitting on their heads. a BIG FAT BIRD that ate rotten meat.

I was thinking about your good luck theory earlier and laughing ironically, as my phone charger stopped working, and when I went down to have it looked at, he said he wasn't sure it could be replaced for free, but he could sell me one for $35. I have been needing a car charger, so bought one of those instead, and then came home to call the company. "good luck indeed!" I scoffed.

BUT THEN. While I was looking for my paperwork, I found, in a pile of electrical stuff I'd thrown in a bag when I moved, AN LG PHONE CHARGER. I have NO IDEA where it came from, as this is the first LG phone I have ever owned. And also, even if you have the same brand, almost all chargers are different. BUT IT WORKS PERFECTLY.

SO YOU WERE RIGHT. And while my computer is still borked, and I cannot fix it, AT LEAST I HAVE A PHONE CHARGER.
