Coming Back

14th January 2010

Slowly but surely I’m making my way back! I spent 8-9 hours yesterday restoring my desktop computer, had to go all the way back to factory setting! Then, I spent most of the afternoon reinstalling and updating all the programs, including the antivirus software. Actually, I’m quite proud of myself that I did it on my own, saved myself the trouble of having to take it to a technician and the money of having to pay said technician!

Truthfully, I was just so angry that the computer had once again been attacked by a virus that I was very close to tossing the whole thing through the window! Instead, I sat down and, as it was booting up, I pressed F10, System Restore!

That computer is back up and running, I managed to drop EC today and now going to read my email. I still have to clean up my laptop, might wait until Saturday for that.

As for sewing, I have my baby quilt all put together, quilted and the binding is sewn to the front. I hope to spend Saturday sitting and hand stitching the binding to the back and it will then be completed!

I have McAfee Antivirus. I thought about it, but after working with their tech support last night, I think I’ll stick with them. I’m definitely changing my EC dropping habits though because that’s where the problem is stemming from.

I also have McAfee Antivirus and it has been ‘bleeping’ a lot lately, when I’m dropping. I’m also very careful on where I drop these days. You are so right, Entrecard should make sure all the sites are clean.
Can’t wait to see the completed baby quilt!

Duni – I can’t wait to see the completed quilt either! I just wish I didn’t hate hand sewing so much, I’m procrastinating finishing it because hand sewing is the only thing left to do! I need to force myself to GET IT DONE!

blueeyes – Thanks! Do you ever get virus warning while dropping with EC and the Norton protection?

Stormee – I did ask the McAfee technician how this was getting through their protection and he wasn’t able to give me a good answer. I was very appreciative though of their help in getting my computer back up and running.
