Computer Problems

I was hit by a virus recently. I know many of my friends have had computer issues too. This one attacked all the key windows booting components. I was able to rebuild it by using DOS commands and backup files I could get at. I don't know about you, but I haven't worked in DOS in 20 or so years. Thankfully, I was able to return the system to full function without any data loss.

Let me make a suggestion. The struggle I had took me over a week to resolve because I didn't want to lose some recent data. The suggestion, back your system up often. The follow up would be have it on a bootable media so you can access it easily. I would recommend a large jump drive or a network drive as a good storage solution. I have both and all my computers are backed up.

I am still thinking about wiping the whole thing and starting over fresh. I got my data! It amazes me how much junk gets built up on a computer. I'm no computer genius, but after looking through my whole computer, I found traces of files and programs I haven't used in a long time.

Now go backup your computer. Hopefully, you won't have to thank me later.
