It is the bane of every laptop-owner. It is annoying and sadly it can't be avoided. Everyone gets one - sooner or later. A mean ol' virus!
Okay, admittedly my lappy was giving me signs......Norton alerted mewith little signs to a possible infection and asked me if it should take action - meaning a virus check. Since I am quite busy working my lappy I ignored this message.
Obviously, that was a mistake.
Last Monday my lappy started to act funny. Everytime I shut it off it deleted ALL my bookmarks AND my 3 MB of pictures. Thank God I have saved those pictures on a CDR. And because it is so much fun - every time I start it it installs "personalizes" all programmes ANEW. Meaning it needs 3 (!) minutes to be ready.
A-N-N-O-Y-I-N-G.
A friend who owns a business and who has an IT-expert in his employ promised me to have this expert check this matter. The expert suggested either a virus or Vista acting up. We'll see. The worst thing that can happen is that the whole set up will have to be installed anew. Or he is going to be pushing a few magic buttons and my lappy (which is only 2 months old!) is like new again...
What do we learn from all this? Better never ignore warning signs!
