Well...we have been experiencing computer trouble the last month or so. We took the computer into the computer man because of some windows that popped up about cleaning up viruses. Well he cleaned it up a little and did some updates and said it wasn't too bad so we begged him for the computer back for a short while. It is amazing the amount of stuff we do with the computer, whether it be pay bills or keep records or file tax stuff online. I worked on the computer to-do list for the one day we got the computer back. When we took it back to him and he really started cleaning it up, he discovered a bad virus that was a root virus. Every time he would take it off, it would automatically re-install itself. So it took him a while and he had to re-install all of our software, but we are back in business now. He said the biggest mistake we made was to not do the automatic Microsoft updates. We were a little out dated on anti-virus software, also. Lesson learned!
He also said he would suggest us budgeting in a new computer some time. We are pretty outdated. After he installed all the updates and the new anti-virus software, we are running pretty slow.
I am so baffled by the fact that there are people in this world that actually created these stupid viruses.
