Trouble with computer

[KRoseLynn]

Everyone,
My computer completely crashed.
I caught a trojan.
It asked me to verify my Windows Software on the internet.
It asked me for my billing information to verify I was who I said I was, then it asked me for my PIN number.
That was the flag!!
I knew something was wrong then. NO ONE SHOULD ASK YOU FOR YOUR PIN NUMBER NO MATTER WHAT!
That's when I knew somthing was wonky!
Sure enough, I did a virus scan and it was a trojan. So I deleted it and it screwed everything up so I had to do two system restarts in a row to get windows to work again. Then I had to set up my computer all over again!
It took forever.
But, I'm back on the internet now. Without my favorites list, but I have this site address memorized and one other one memorized as well. But I don't want to do a serch for pictures before I have my antivirus set up again. So I have to wait before I go searching for pictures again.
On top of that, I have to re-install all my photo editing programs as well.

It took me most of today to get back on the internet. Grrr.
I had to start over from scratch.
I lost everything.
Including all my pictures.
So, all the organizing I did with the Guess pictures in my notebook, are no good anymore. I will have to start completely over.
I lost all my saved pictures of David *Sobbing like a baby~blubbering like a fool* and all my documents, my resume *cries* and my favorites list.
So, when I get back on track I'll post a guess picture.
I'll try not to make it too long a wait.

Oh boy Krystal, this just plain S*CKS....

I have had three computers distroyed by viruses in my computer history...Finally I switched from PC to Mac , even though I am a strong PC-lover...the viruses (and the fear to get them) just are not worth it....

I hope you have at least some of your files backed up..and it is not a total loss...

Don't worry about us...just get your computer running again..We aint going nowhere

You guys are really kind.

Lian, yes please, send my resume back to me if you you don't mind.
And that cover letter I had you proof read for me.

As far as the pictures....they are all gone.
I was organizing them to put on CD but I had so many of them it was taking me a long time.

I was only working on one signature/icon request for some with a John Kelly theme. So that's gonna take a bit longer than it has already.

Anyway, guys, you've been kind and I'll certianly ask for things from you guys if I need too.

Oh Krystal, that is a big bummer!
Man the nerve of people to send viruses.

Hey, I know how you feel! I have gotten viruses to a point where i have to restart my whole computer, losing everything i have on it and reinstalling things, it really sucks. I have gone through it about 3 or more times, it really does stink. I really hate when people send viruses and stuff, it really makes me mad, they think its fun but i hope they experience it one day so see the trouble they make us go through.

But I'm happy you got it working again!

[Carol]

Hang in there Krystal.
I definitely understand how you feel.

Hey Krystal, you got my sympathies.

I volunteer to be the first in-line to give the person/s responsible a good kicking. ;D

By the way, are you running a firewall? I rate that more important than my virus checker.

Owwwwwwww Krystal! That really really really s*cks. I feel sorry for you. I'm glad you posted so much on this site here. Hope that you can get your computer going again and just PM me if you need anything.

CorpusChristy,
Yes I did have a firewall.
I was running Avast anitiviral and personal firewall.
I don't recomend them anymore.
Someone found a way to get through.

Now I've got McAfee.
The only thing I hate about McAfee is that is askes you to "Allow" or "Not allow" in almost everything you do. Like installing my photoprograms. It "dinged" at me several times while it was installing.

But, I guess I'll just deal now, because I'm tired of this happening.
Last time this happened was a couple of months ago. Maybe some of you remember.
But I didn't loose everthing. I found it all.
But not this time.

Thank you all for understanding.
I'm looing for a picture to modify now, becuause I got my software installed and am ready to go.

To mention how committed I am to this site and this responsibility Carol has blessed me with in giving me this board I just wanted to tell you, I installed my photo editing software before even installing MS Office! I still havent installed it.

Now, that's commitment!
