Virused!! loginlogoffloginlogoff….

Grrrr! I got virused the other day using an infected keygen, serves me right eh?

dammit, I wasted 2 days trying to put my system back the way it was but the virus was too deep and it kept making my pc logoff as soon as I had logged on, in the end I managed to backup my outlook and (hopefully) my source code and reinstall windows from scratch.

Now on to the wonderous journey of installing all those apps again, maybe this time when I’m done I’ll actuallly get around to making a ghost image of the drive :-/

I’ll be back soon when the operation is over….

    Oh no! That’s bad news!! And you are supposed to have many computers.

    I was wondering why this blog has become quiet all of a sudden.

    Come back soon! :)

    it’s been a nightmare! I managed to use a really cool program to recover all deleted files from a formatted partition so now all that’s left is the boring bit of making it able to do all the things it did before!

    I have some posts saved for such an occasion but I only have them as drafts.

    I’ll be back soon!

    Hi Andy,
    Sorry to hear that. I hope you have it back to they way you like it soon. I know it is a bear reinstalling from scratch.

    Hey FiddyP,

    I feel for you. That majorly sucks. When I first started surfing the internet, I too got infected by a virus, lost all my files and ended up having to reformat.

    Glad you are back on your feet again. Get healthy and I hope you are able to completely recover.

    Andy, I hope you get that virus snuffed soon. It really is a pain to have to restart everything all over. And I hope it only got to one of your computers. Not all :)

    thanks Chessnoid, lilsumptin.. and Sharon!

    it would happen at a time when I am super busy at work, a whole week of 12 hour shifts to come and worked nearly all this weekend!

    I have some good ideas for CL and I’m itching to put them in but there is no time!! thanks for coming by and for your kind words, it helps get through the long shifts when I see comments coming in on the laptop on my desk. :-)

    Regardless, I still think CL is a big hit just as it is right now.

    thanks Sharon! I just want to get it working for as many people as possible before I slap a 1.0 badge on it.

    it always picks up your last post, it must know you are The Diva!

    God, thats the same happened to me but the different is that I destroyed my partition when the battery died while defraging the hard disk .
    this was 3 days ago, I formatted my pc and install windows XP, I hate it …. I got used to Windows Vista ….

    LOL! No doubt about that :)

    I’ve just been so behind with my postings because I have been sick as a dog in the last two weeks. And I’m still trying to get rid of it…..

    Thats why you shoud use Altirus Software Virtualization ;-)

    You shouldn’t be even using Keygen anyway! There is alway risk in using those program you download from torr…

    Anyway, take care, Sean.

    warrior: yes yes I know!
    It was my own impatience that did it, it was for a work computer so if I’d used the full version and found it to be worth it, I would have got the company to pay for a license…

    I just couldn’t wait the few days for a software box to arrive and besides, if it was a cak program I would have deleted it anyway!

    wissam: I am going to renew the domain as it is on a billion flyers and ebooks out there in the world! it makes plenty of money as it is but thanks for the pointer!

    I didn’t say I wouldn’t download it, just I wouldn’t probably use it! hehe, a little thing like not knowing where to use it isn’t gonna stop me downloading something LOL

    my avatar isn’t showing because I set my domain to imgames.co.uk for some reason and mybloglog wants to see fiddyp there for my avatar to show. I’ll change it one of these days..
