Yours truly's laptop came into grips with a most deadly virus last Sunday. Despite extensive efforts to save the poor thing, and paying well over the odds, this week has resulted in lots and lots of frustration and misfortune. Turns out, the whole hard drive has been wiped. Okay, that's the just the short version but that's the gist of it. I really don't remember many of the technical details but the virus split into two and hammered away at everything, making it impossible for the nerds I was paying to access most of my stuff. Then, things got progressively worse and next thing you know, my laptop's empty. Yes, most of my "important" stuff is backed up and thank God, too. But the fun stuff, the sentimental little things...gone. I'm really sad. Yeah.

Ah thats too bad :....I currently have a 200GB external hardrive which i keep everything on. It's a good way of storing things and keeps yr pc free. You might want to do that in the future in order to prevent such a thing happening to you

No way, you're so unprotected you'll get that virus anyway. It's just a matter of time

I did lose the VSFS of '05 and '06, yeah. I guess I'll just have to force myself to download them again. Natasha Poly dressed as an air hostess...there are worse things.

Hahaha uhm let me think it cost me about £80 which is roughly $160, A small price to pay considering the amount space you get and the luxury of knowing yr stuff will be safe

Ur computer caught the trojan so it should be ok. You might want to do another scan to make sure.
