  • My computer system is down for the count

    if you are trying to reach me I will be able to get e-mail at another location.

    I lost my entire e-mail address book and also the backup system crashed. Please pray my computer people will be able to retrieve it and all my other information.

    Dang

    Having just gone through that Tim, I know the feeling. I left my system on for the day so my son can contact me from over sea's and when I got home that night someone had been nice enough to down load a virus to my system. I'll keep my finger's crossed that your computer guru's can retrieve all of your information!! For anyone else, make sure you back up your important information to disc. It stink's when you lose it all...:( And update your virus protection, whatever it may be!!

    I just got my unit back from the geek squad. Totally infected with viruses and add/spyware. I had Mcafee/ spybot/ others. lost everything could not even do a system recovery, I had to order recovery disks from HP $23.10 overnighted. I got my pictures burned before it happend thank god. All in All 260 bucks to get her back online.

    Installed PC Cillen, and spy sweeper what they recommended.

    Can't believe all the rubish that gets on the hard drive from the internet.

    Good Luck Gordy

    Nasties...

    Here's what I give my clients:

    ZoneAlarm Security Suite

    or
    ZoneAlarm Pro (Turn off anti-spyware and anti-virus)

    Webroot Anti-Spyware

    AVG Anti-Virus

    All but the Webroot are available in free versions, stripped of the fancier features.

    For backup, I've just started using an Internet Backup service called iBackup. Relatively inexpensive (pricing based on how many gigabytes you backup) and it comes with a backup program that will run off hours when your broadband isn't being used.

    Here are the links:
    ZoneAlarm zonelabs.com

    Webroot webroot.com

    AVG grisoft.com

    Free version of AVG free.grisoft.com

    iBackup ibackup.com
    "Let me control you"

    Lost in SOHO NYC and Balmy Whites Valley PA
