NON DS Rant...

Well, I start my new part time (retirement suppliment) job tomorrow at 9:00 AM. ;D My niece is the IT person for the CPA firm where I'll be working. She cleaned up my computer and got some software loaded on it that I'll need if I work from home.

I came home, got on the internet for just a short period of time, and picked up a virus!!!!!! I had this junk that kept popping up time and again, and then.....out of nowhere there is a full screen ad for PORN!!!!!! Nothing I did would stop the stuff.

I called my niece and she and I together wiped out my harddrive and restored stuff.

I am now back up and running and nothing is popping up but G rated stuff!!!

I don't know who these people are that create viruses and stuff, but they really should be arrested and prosecuted. I don't have the money to replace this computer if it crashes, and I need it for my work.

So, I will now shut up and go about my business. Thank heaven for nieces who know about computers. She didn't charge me! ;D

I did lose all the new programs that I need for work but she will get me those discs.

I AGREE Char, Man oh Man you would think whoever has that much free time to cause these viruses just for fun... Would get a real life and do something good for man kind instead of getting their jollies by causing problems for others

BEST of Luck with your new job

I just saw a segment on some news show (dateline or something), and it showed "hackers"
and what they do. Most of them were teens from foreign countries, like Russia, India, etc.
There were "gangs" of them posing on the internet, bragging about how much money they made making "viruses". I guess the pay is excellant, and thats what intices these kids. It was really scary, but interesting. If I can find the link, I'll post it.

I seem to be in good shape now, and am grateful that my nephew married a woman who can take care of computer problems because I am not that person.

The new job is going well but it not part time. I guess I am officially out of retirement for now.
