Happy and virusfree
Life is fun. At least if you’re virusfree and have a working computer. Which I have. Now :-)
It took me a while to fix it. Totally fresh install on formatted harddrives, because I had so much crap on it and the old Win installation were not quite functional since a while back.
And yes, I had backups. On most the important stuff. I think. We’ll see if I miss something later…
I did run a lot of online virus scans, just to make sure there is no virus there any longer.
I opened the computer to dust it too. Probably the dust made it park the head in the drive and freeze it, so better to clean it while I was on the go. Or as I use to say: while my pants were down anyway ;-)
Now comes the tricky bit, to keep the computer as clean as possible and not begin to load it with all kind of unnecessary stuff…
I don’t bother to install Norton Antivirus again, it take too much space and I decided to install avast antivirus instead. I really like what I’ve seen and heard about it so far. And it’s free - awesome!
I will stick to Lavasofts AdAware to check for spywares and malicious content, it’s very useful.
