No Client/RC (OMG TE WRLD WEL ESPLOAD!)

Yeah so I got a virus on my [old and crappy] family computer that destroyed most of it.
I ran a virus scan on Safe Mode but a bunch of stuff was already changed.

Sooooo I have to wait for my dad to get back and take it into Best Buy's Geek Squad.
Either they're going to try to restore it or if they can't I'm getting a new computer, who knows. And the good thing is it won't have all the crap it used to if its a new one and'll run so much better, and it might also be my own for once! ()

But yeah. Never use Dotnxt.
LESSON LEARNED!

So I'm not gonna be able to go on Clients/RCs and possibly not the forums too much.

And Stefan, if I have a new computer or CPID/IP, you better freaking change my IP Ranges this time!

Geek Squad = Goodbye money that could have been saved. There are other options you should consider and explore. Hard Drive External Enclosure, backup what you need then format it, etc.

Don't take it to Geek Squad. They charge way too much and don't do a very good job.

Geek squad is a waste of money, just get a friend who is smart with computers to reformat your PC and you will buy him lunch or something.

I fix my buddies computers all the time and all I ask for is a chicken carbonara from Quiznos.

Haha.
Yeah but we can't even install my AntiVirus, after we've done a Recovery, so we can't do anything.
And we don't know any geeks in my area :[ I believe I'm like the only one, just no one (if they are) shows it...

But yeah my dad did a Recovery. Took about 2 hours to accomplish that. And THEN we find out we can't install AntiVirus and all.

I'm going with him to Best Buy for a Wii game and he's gonna talk to the GS.

So yeah. Dunno what's gonna happen

Just format your hard drive and then reinstall Windows fresh? It's not rocket science you know.

I agree. It's not too hard. The Windows installer basically holds your hand during the process.

Unless the data on it is vital to the financial survival of the household.

And also, IDK how to format it, though I know what it is xD

I wiped the poop out of this laptop when it got a virus, and then I decided to also put XP on it which was really a challenge since it was designed for Vista. I had to find XP versions of plugins that would work on it.
