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 use a fire wall/ anti- virus program from Kaspersky, (http://usa.kaspersky.com/products_services/internet-security.php?icid=50000028) it's one of the best out there.

oh, no I'm so sorry! I know the feeling, just went through something similar myself, I feel your pain. Unlike me, at least you backed up. I hope you can get it fixed soon.

Ack, that's awful.

I really don't get virus writers. I mean, surely they're all intent computer nerds: don't they realise that the people they are impacting are their own (people like you and me!) who love their computers and have a lot of their lives on their computers (or via their computers). The only people they're really benefiting are the people who they probably don't like - Microsoft and the big companies. Oop, I just talked myself into a conspiracy theory there.

It's just such really bad karma on their part. I think a bird is probably shitting on their heads AS WE SPEAK.

And... good luck is heading your way. I can feel it in the auras of the world. :D

That is extremely annoying and horrible - I hope your mom's computer friends can sort it out for you.

Oh, that sucks, sweetie! And you're the second person on my flist today who has reported this same problem... Possibly the third this week, although one friend's computer is so far gone that they don't know exactly what caused the melt down. I do hope that whatever is going around is stopped soon! *hugs*

But you JUST got baaaaack!! :(

[dreamlittleyo.livejournal.com]

OH NOES! *hugs* Baby, I'm so sorry, that's awful! Hang in there, and I'll be praying on the computer-geek-friend front for you! *hugs*

UGGGGGH. I'm so SORRY! That is the worst, and something I am always scared will happen. I really hope one of your mom's friends can help!

[moodswingers.livejournal.com]

OH CRAP. I hope it gets resolved ASAP.

[ou-peachus.livejournal.com]

Ok. That sucks. Here I was coming to you to ask about a recently deleted journal and you're having craptastic issues already. I'm sorry, hon. I hope someone can get it fixed for you!

*hugs*

Oh hun! I totally feel your pain! Why do they even do it?? Grr!

I had a computer problem not too long ago. Not sure if it's similar to yours, but basically my computer would shut down randomly and all of my anti-virus programs wouldn't work or even update. I couldn't even access any AV sites online. It was hell to fix and took more than a week. It ended up being a nasty piece of malware that stuck bits of itself all over. I was able to get it working, but even then I wasn't able to get everything off. So I definitely feel your pain. Sucks to have your PC out of commission. :( Good luck getting it fixed.
