Boy....got up this morning, early....poured a cup of coffee and logged into my email.
"UPS Shipping Notification" is one I got....but it was in my Spam.
I didn't think much of it. Sometimes my work emails end up there.
"Yes! I got a ton of stuff on order for my new Q!"....I open it....there was a pdf attachment. I open it to retrieve a pdf...BOOM!....VIRUS! :x 8O :evil: My pc goes bonkers! :x
We have XP Pro so it didn't effect my 'side' as I logged onto Mrs 2LZ side just to check my email. I know that she's going to want to do her Facebooking when she arose.
Needless to say, our Nortion caught and nuked it, virtually instantly, but not before damage to 27 files.
Mrs 2LZ just spent 3 hours with the Norton Tech's, via chat, who took over our pc and completely restored everything back to perfect. They even reinstalled all the corrupted XP files from 'their end'.
I'm no PC expert by any means, and I know there's a boatload of free antivirus software out there people tell me about and use....but those Norton folks are worth every penny of the 45.00 a year I give them.
Man....that was scary...... 8O
