bobscroll Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Hello everybody! Thanks to my daughter I've got my computer back, A very nasty Virus got on my computer and swiched off my anti-virus and took it over, It started turning things off, If it hadn't been for my daughter it would be in wheelibin gone forever , It took my daughter two weeks to sort it out for me, I couldn't thank her enough , Thankfully I had backed a lot of my stuff up on my external hard drive! See y'all later Bob Rob Roy and Phantom Scroller 2 Quote

Nick@tinkers-cove Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 Good to see you back Bob...we were beginning to think that you'd moved to another village. Quote
browders Posted March 15, 2014 Report Posted March 15, 2014 This is where I take the opportunity to brag up my mac book. 4 years old now and never had a virus. Of course the down side is that there are plenty of programs that it won't run. I guess life is all about compromise. Glad you're back Bob. You had people a little concerned. bobscroll and Nick@tinkers-cove 2 Quote

I've used pc's for years and never been totally satisfied with Windows (particularly with the amount of virus's continuously written for it.) A few years ago I discovered Mac...and never went back. Worth every penny and more. Quote
bobscroll Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Posted March 15, 2014 I'd just like to add, I bought my computer on the internet cheap, I'm happy with it But! one thing, There was no backup disc with it, So when it got it's big virus, It had to be restored, The big problem was it didn't have standard parts inside it as my daughter found out, So she had to find "Drivers" on the internet to make it run again, Thats why it took two weeks for her to fix it for me, I couldn't thank her enough Bob P.S the Drivers and other things have been burn't to a disc, So next time there won't be any problem.
