COMPUTERS can SUCK...

So get this, I'm up last night late, bored, not really all that tired and not wanting to clean so I get on the computer, so my dumb-ass decides to go outside of my regular, check e-mail, send e-mails, and look up regular everyday stuff, and decide to add a counter to my site, amongst other things, and in less than an hour I had TEN (10) viruses on my computer. So I get ticked and call my brother who is an IT for Texas Tech University and I told him what viruses were on here and he says "damn, those are self replicating viruses, so even if you catch them, they will just reproduce before you can delete it." "So I'm having to spend another 6 - 8 hours of my day performing a system recovery, (this erases everything you have on you computer and brings it back to factory settings). So the majority of my day I did that, along with cooking and cleaning in between. So now I can say my system is clean, virus free, and with spy-both, ad-aware, and an anti-virus (2 different ones). And I had to reinstall everything on my computer, I'm just glad that I was able to burn my pictures onto a CD before I did the system recovery. The funny thing about it is I learned along the way that my reasons for wanting to get some add-ons for my site, were more of childish reasons, then anything that would be of value. So aside from being upset from the viruses I think I was more upset about realizing that I still have some growing up to do. But in speaking to a close friend this morning he just advised, "learn from it, and move on, do not dwell on it, we all have some growing up to do". And yeah he is correct, so I did what I could to fix my PC and then move on.
