Sorry. There's a lot of cursing here.

Stupid fucking computers.

My fucking computer got a virus while my kid was surfing. The Kid is typically fairly Internet savvy so m not pissed at her I'm pissed at the stupid fucking anti virus software that I actually pay money for the is supposed to protect me from this shit.

I thought.... Wait now.... Waiiiiit now...

I thought I had it fixed and then went back to do a system restore but it kept hanging and buggering everything up. I just tried a system un restore and it didn't hang. I don't know what it did but it is the first thing that went right so far. I think I spoke too soon. Now it's just sitting here. Cursor. And a black screen. No start up screen. Bugger.

Restart.....

In truth I keep everything backed up. I'm meticulous with my backups. But even with backups its a pain in the ass.

I'll fuck around a bit more but when I bought the stupid beast it came with the software preloaded so I don't have any discs which makes it a pain in the ass.

I'll figure it out. I have no fear of that. And at the end of the day it will be only an inconvenience but, fucker, it's a pain in the ass I didn't need right now.

Hmmm. System restore seems to have stopped hanging. I'm not counting my chickens yet, but could it be I've finally hit bottom and am on my way back up?

(that probably jinxed it)

Wow. I'm good.

That's 5 hours of my life I'll never get back.

Possibly could be character building? lol

I hate it when things like that happen, and the relief and joy you have for fixing it all is somewhat tempered by the fact you know just a few hours ago it was fine anyway.

Glad it's all sorted ;)

I hate my anti virus software and want to kill it too; and now my computer is telling me it's 'crash dumping' because its running out of memory or storage or something. Time for an iMac, i think.
