Good morning everyone!

Happy Birthday Lisa!!! I will be there with my bow on in just a bit!!!

I need some of your who are computer guru's to help me out if possible. I think I have that oh so fun april fools worm, conficker I think it is. I can't access my anti virus software or go to microsofts website to DL updates. I am having to run this in safe mode, if I try to run it like normal I get a blue screen and it dumps my memory. I am trying to figure out how I can get rid of this without having to take it down somewhere and have it fixed. Although that is a lil bit hard when I can't access my anti virus. lol.

I saw something on the news lastnight about having someone who isn't infected with this DL something and email it to the infected person. I am going to see if I can find that somewhere. I am glad both of my computers weren't infected.

Thanks for letting me vent!

I am just too computer stupid to really do anything about it. I did find some software that came with the lap top when I bought it that I am going to load on it right now, it's Windows Live Onc Care, an all in one security and performance service since I can't get to my own anti virus. Hopefully that will help me.

I worked on my dads last night for about 4 hours trying everything to fix it. I even tried to format it,but it wouldn't even let me do that. Im pretty sure that is what was wrong with his. He is takiing it to a friend of his today and having it fixed. I normaly don't get mad messing with a computer,but last night I wanted to through it out i the yard.

Cris, I hope you get yours fixed soon

I am ready to run this damn thing over with my truck and just go buy a new one. I am so fed up it is taking everything I have not to use a whole bunch of not nice words right now. I think I am just going to have to call a place and see what they would charge to fix it. I am at a loss as to what to do. I tried to install the software I have but I can't do it in safe mode and the effing thing won't run in anything else.

That really sucks. To think, if those effers would put half as much effort into an honest days work, how much better off the world would be.
