Thumbs up Good To Have Friends

to complete that statement let me say, 'that know what they're doing.'

For months I was only able to use my laptop in standby mode. I don't know the proper term; but to hit the O-F-F switch to use it didn't work; so I hit the other button and got online/accessed programs and documents that way.

Last night, an IT buddy of the family comes over to look at one of the computers. Little did he know.....
So, advantage was taken of the opportunity. Good ol' name-omitted-to protect-the-innocent had the desktop and all four laptops working as good as new within a couple hours.

Did said friend hook you up with proper prophylactic measures to prevent reoccurrence? It's fine to be able to fix things up with a shot, but better to prevent the infection in the first place, Navy taught me that

If you catch a computer virus from a porn site, does that qualify as an STD?
