Computer Gets Sick

My laptop caught a virus… :(

A virus scan picked up a trojan last weekend but I thought I cleaned it up since subsequent scans didn’t see anything. No such luck, a scan this weekend found several new trojans so it was straight to reformating land for my computer.

Put all my files on the external hard drive, wiped the laptop, reinstalled windows and was back up an running in about an hour. Now to recreate all my preferences, organization, and software…
