Quite a few months ago, my computer was struck down with Spyware-Trojan, disguised as something else. I downloaded it unknowingly, of a trusted website. It was called "Windows XP Police". " It practically rendered my computer useless.The spyware prevented me going to the internet for help, continually harrased me to download the "Full client for ultimate Virus protection",prevented me from going to theTask manager (Yes, Istill use XP), and popups continually came up on the screen. "A malicious virus stringhasbeen found in your system.Download the XP Police Client to safely remove the virus." I tried the net again.Itsaid something about not being able to go to the net becauseI was not fully protected (Don't be a smart-ass) from dangerous stuff, and therefore,I should download XP Police. For$62.95.Stubborn not to give in to such an elaborate yet spoon bendingly, mind-numbingly, hallucinogeniacally irritating virus, I went into the deep realms of my program files, only known and mapped by the most intelligent and conspirational techie guys. Still determined to to call the guy (Daniel is his name), there weretwo hours of swearing, clicking, restarting, typing, deleting, and pacing that followed. I soon found out what to do. There was a program called... uhmm I dont exactly remember, butI found and option under my Norton anti-virus porgram (Which had failed in pickingup the Trojan).Forgot what it was called (sorry guys), it saves your computer's status every time you turn it off. Hallelujah! But there was a small obstacle. when I access program files, I had limited time. 23 Seconds to be precise.So, my computer's files were sent3 days into the past. A day before the bane of my tech life had even appeared. WooHoo! Problem solved. Yeah, but then one of my drivers screwed up anyway a few weeks later, so, oh well. Back to Dell it goes...
