Christmas fun

Why did I let my mother in law connect her laptop to my home network? #$#$#@!$#@ viruses. My wife's work computer went down first, now I'll have to check everything. :doh:

Damn I'm glad I've never had to deal with this. What the heck do people to get all this stuff on there systems? Do they really just randomly click on everything in the browser?

Ouch... Hey, at least you can do it in person, though... I have a friend on the other side of the country... Her old XP box has started to croak (Half the time, when it boots up, it blacks out and crashes), and she's getting hit with viruses... Turned out her antivirus was using outdated definitions, she wasn't patched, she wasn't behind a firewall or router (I made her buy a cheap router just for the NAT), and she wasn't scanning for malware. Right there, that's several hours to fix up.... Now try talking someone through that over the phone!

Ugh, reminds me of my tech support days. Though, it was in the days before broadband, so we'd mail them a floppy with av software on it and have them boot off that and scan the drive, either that or a little fdisk /mbr and they'd be back up and running. I'd hate to have to fix all the modern day malware over the phone.

No idea, but I just put a fresh install of windows on my wife's system a couple of weeks ago, including unregistering all the adobe software and re-registering it so it would activate. I don't want to have to go through that again.

It was her work computer, so I got to send it off to her I/T department for that one.

I just got a nasty little virus on my computer that pretends to be a virus scanner, pops up a ton of browser pages, and that won't let me open anything (including the task manager and the command prompt). Already disconnected that computer from my network. Methinks I'll be backing up files (assuming safe mode works) and reinstalling Windows this Christmas (while working from my laptop).
