Soon after the last post, I started scanning the computer for spyware prior to online shopping. The anti-root kit scan came up with loads of suspicious files, which I deleted. And now the dang thing won’t boot. It’s not just missing one file. I really messed it up.
So yesterday afternoon I scanned the laptop, and eventually did my shopping. And my husband removed the data disk from the main computer and plugged it into the USB port of the laptop, so I could finish updating the other blog. But it was hard going, so I concentreted on housework.
Now we have a very small systenm disk with windows and nothing else, with the old system disk as a data disk.
I’m cross with myself, but mostly I’m crosser with the people who write spyware. If they weren’t such selfish, immoral gits, the whole thing would never have happened.
