Guys, be careful who you download stuff from. Recently, we got a trojan horse virus on our computer. We have no clue how but we did.
We pulled out the arsenal of virus scans. Nothing would get rid of this virus because it was part of the windows running system. Finally, my dad called the company of one of our virus scan programs and he had him take out some files that my dad knew he shouldn't have taken out but he did anyways because of the "expert".
Anyways, total melt down. First the computer would turn on but it wouldn't boot up. Finally it did but in safe mode. We tried everything to save our mechanical friend but it came down to the big format. My dad has a reasonable sized hard drive, a little over 8 gigs. Big enough for us. Our first computer didn't have a hard drive and the one after that only had 20 megs.
Anyways, this message is to all you people. BE CAREFUL!
BTW, I think I found the true meaning of the term "plug and play" First you plug it in. Then you play with it for an hour trying to get it to work
