I’ve been having some major computer problems the past couple of weeks.
It started with a virus that installed a tiny FTP program that tried to install a rootkit. Nasty stuff, if it had succeeded I would have had my PC completely taken over by hackers.
To get rid of it completely, I had to wipe my hard drive using a rather drastic tool called Boot and Nuke. Then, a complete Windows XP reinstall, which took some time. Now I’m installing tools.
Unfortunately, I misconfigured one tool I installed and now my entire Hotmail inbox is gone. POOF! Yes, I am very annoyed. I’ll have to work from a backup file on my hard drive. If you’ve been waiting for an email response from me for something, I regret to inform you it may take some time…
