Computer Trouble

So this morning we all woke up to a furious Daddy on Valentine's Day. As Laney, Eli, and I opened up some cards and stuff, Bob was yelling at the computer. Apperently it was all my fault too! I told him I didn't know what happened and I did not download anything wrong...he didn't buy it. I asked him if I could download Limewire on the computer this week and he agreed. So when I downloaded it, I must have gotten this virus on the computer. It was called a rouge virus. It really looked like something Windows sent out because our computer had viruses. Well it didn't and it made us think our computer had all of these problems and wanted us to buy this antivirus software. The virus's goal was to get our personal information and explot us! Thankfully Bob knows some stuff about computers and was able to get rid of it. Thankfully I am not an idiot and didn't give out my information... Looks like no Limewire for us, it seems as though when you download songs, some files are attached with viruses to attack your computer. Looks like I will be buying songs legally even though Itunes screwed me by taking my songs back when we switched computers. Maybe I will go back to being old fashioned and buy the CD's...Oh well.

  1. ah that sucks! I had a problem with an old lap top when I was doing Itunes stuff, and it messed everything up, Back up your songs from Itunes on CD's just in case so that way your good to go. Of course I give this advice but I have never backed up any songs either lol.

  2. :-) I know we learned our lesson and now have an external hard drive we back everything up to...Glad to hear Dave's surgery went well... Bob will not have that done, I am going on Mirana :-)
