Well, until last night, I didn't realize that since I built my new system, and reloaded windows, that I had neglected to load an Anti-Virus program :-( got an email from a friend - one who often sends attachments, so I opened it, and 18 gigs of MP3's, a gig of pictures, and 400 megs of MIDI files were lost - and the MIDI files hurt worse than anything - that was over 250,000 files :-(
I just went ahead and formatted...wasn't worth trying to fix, as the NAV repair tool for the Love letter virus said it was unable to repair any of the files when I ran it. So, it'll take me a couple of days to get up and running I guess - bighead has my CS CD and he's out of town all week, so unless I can scrounge one up from someone else, I'm going to take a break from CS for a while - I kinda needed a week off from it anyway. Anyway, just came home for lunch and finished up loading XP, so I'm back in business for web and email...tonight I guess I'll start loading back up programs and such.
Just remember to be careful with attachments.
