OMG...that is awful. My first computer...got a really bad trojan virus on it that it took forever for me to get rid of...with the help of my son.
I bought a new computer about 5 years ago and the hard drive went on it in Feb. of this year. Instead of having it checked and fixed I bought a new computer...but will eventually have someone retrieve the stuff off of that hard drive. Anyway...got my new computer hooked up and had previously added my dad's name and info on the WWII Memorial website. I went there to check something and bam...a virus. It took me almost 2 days to get rid of the thing. I had been using the virus protection that Verizon offers...ditched that and went with Norton. I love it.
