Sometimes I hate electronics

My laptop got a virus, and although computer!guy claims to have fixed it, the version of Explorer it's running now won't open Livejournal or YouTube. And now the iPhone is messing up my posts (they look fine on the phone but not on the computer screen).

Maybe I should just give up now...

If your able try and get Malwarebyte's antimalware, Panda cloud antivurus and spybot. Run those and you should be back in buisness. Saved mine and my husbands computers(his more than once) when it seemed hopeless.

My wife's computer had a virus scanner, but it still got so infested that it was unusable. The DVD drive didn't work. So, I wiped the hard disk clean and put on Linux. It now works fine even the DVD driver. Now I use it.

You may not want to put Linux on. But, Firefox, Chrome and Safari are all better browsers that IE.

Well is mostly works. The puppies chewed threw the power cord. Again! Linux didn't help the power cord at all. '-)

Yes, I'm thinking I'll change browsers.

Hmmm, yes, I can see how Linux didn't help there!
