Nahh nothing paranormal really, just a bloody virus.

I was working away, minding my own business and then bam!!! yup I got a virus on my main computer, couldn’t use window update, system restore, couldn’t install a virus checker or use the existing one, couldn’t do sod all with my computer.

I tried booking the computer into a VD clinic, but they said humans only, the bloody racists.

Thanks to that we’ve now lost about 48hrs of work as I had to do total format of the system, re-install, lost a load of data, backed up what I could though. Lucky enough most of the stuff was already backed up on a raid network drive. I spent hours trying to sort the problem first before giving up and resorting to a total format.

Lucky enough it was also just my system and no other team members, otherwise we’d be even further behind.

Well anyways I’m back.
