#%^@ Microsoft - My Next Computer is a Mac!
Wow! I was without a PC for two weeks - count them, TWO WHOLE WEEKS! After my computer repair guy rewrote the corrupt files for the Microsoft Update that pillaged and violated my poor PC, I decided to add more RAM to help it work way faster but, alas, it seemed to shut my system down. The owner of the repair place found out that even though that chip was supposed to work in my Dell, there have been problems with that brand of RAM shutting systems down. So I had to wait for a different brand to come in and that took nearly one week. The day I turned my computer back on, I immediate installed Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware software. I ran them and found that I had the dreaded Conflicker worm in my system. I have no idea when it got in there, but I'M guessing it was about two nano-seconds after I fired the bugger up for the first time in two weeks. It took most of the day to get it all out of my system. Grrrrrrrr. The 'good' part? I'm up and running and my Dell is quite a bit faster! I should have time over the next few days to get back into blogging about cool stuff! Til then.
