Sods law at its very best

That old adage, the one that tells us that things come in three's...does that apply to multiples of three also??

Having discovered that this pc has some problem of a serious nature and as yet having been unable to fix it, we set about getting the laptop updated, only to find that the infamous 'Nortons' was shall we say, buggered. Easy fixed we think and uninstall it, the next move was a silly one. Having reinstalled it we connected to the internet to get some information regarding a specific trojan, what happened? Nortons was not fully updated and within seconds we had a dialler and a home page permanently set to a porn site masquerading as Google! FFS.

This seems to be sods law at it's best. We really only keep the laptop as a backup should the pc die a death....the first time we need it it also turns up it's toes for believe me, this dialer etc. is very resistant to removal!

Oh happiness....tonight we have two machines to reformat and all that that entails, all the software to reinstall and far too many gig of information to get back on.

It's gonna be a very long night and should I go AWOL for longer than usual you will understand why. These things as you know have a nasty habit of not being as simple as they should be!

Ugh!

At least you have some idea how to fix the problem. I would fix the problem by throwing the computers out and getting a new one. The same principle also applies to men. I don't know how to fix them either. :)

Dear Melissa

Although we are frequently broken and mostly irreparable, I beg you to spare some of us from the trash can (dustbin?).
