I have been bit by a virus or two over the years. So has my Daughter. The one that bit me was a 'nothing virus' and all I needed to do was run an alternate boot system (Different OS) to clean it otu.. .The one that bit my daughter was more serious but easier to clear out
The virus that bit her "hid" all the files on the system so she had only a black screen (The wall paper was "hid" as were all the program ICONS.
Her computer "expert" husband worked for over 2 hours to recover one file she needed (master's thesis)
Took me less than 15 minutes to undo the damage the computer did by using a single Arcane DOS command.
Then I had to install an anti-viral to slap it off the drive.
IN her case a simple firewall would have blocked it.
In my case. Well I know the vector (Work) and who installed it there (Sgt).
Fact: I once voiced a question as to if the two (At that time) Big names were perhaps "Seeding the market" by putting malware on the net... I was told one of them was.. (I believe it too) But that Peter Norton would NEVER do such a thing (Well the man I was talking to does know Mr. Norton)
So though I use a free-anti-viral... If you are going to pay.. Norton please
