New Rob - New Virus

Hi everybody,

So. On Thursday, as part of the 'New Rob regime' I was going to put some books on eBay. I'd been meaning to do it for ages, but never got round to it.

Whilst doing this, I also thought I'd try to illegally download a film. I'd never done this before, and I probably never will again. That's because I download a lovely virus.

Seriously. It managed to disable both my anti-virus programs, Windows security centre, my firewall AND change all my Internet Explorer settings so that whenever I tried to do an online scan, it wouldn't let me.

I had blue screens, memory purges, safe mode restarts, automatic shut downs... you name it, I had it.

I eventually managed to fix everything (I hope) using a free piece of software.

I suppose you could read two things in to this it:

  1. If you try to change your ways, you'll always get set back, or
  2. If you do something bad, you'll get punished!

Not sure which one I'm voting for.

Thanks for reading,
Rob (2.0)
