2010's last hurrah

[flemmings]

This year sucked for most of its length, but I thought my luck had turned in the fall. Ah well. No. Trojan last night that refused to be removed according to internet directions. Malwarebytes kept rebooting computer when I tried to update it. Long saga involving much gin, but at last the damned thing stopped loading.

This morning computer lags terribly. Is running a process that google has never even heard of, which is scary. I run AdwareS&D. First thing it picks up is a trojan with an operating system name. Wait for Adware to be done so I can remove it. System crashes. Reboot. Windows will not load. Kaput, finito.

Must go see if old Win98 system still works. And buy a Mac laptop, except it's snowing and getting around is no longer the easy bike-borne thing it was.

Gah. Much sympathy.

*HUUUG* hope the pc woes clear up or something. *more huugs*

Ugh, that sucks. :(

I would offer my old Mac laptop, except it would only do you about as much good as the dead system, since it still needs the LCD replaced. >.>

Do you have XP discs, to do a reinstall?

Thought I had the discs but can't find them. Bro is going to use his and see how badly the HD is corrupted. May only be a matter of some registries and then-- well, I never liked XP that much, even with a more reasonable monitor (that doesn't need its gamma set to 35 to make fonts legible.) So either a Mac or a netbook, because all I do on my computers is read LJ and write. And still pick up trojans somehow.
