Glad it's all straightened out for you. How did you get all of those viruses, do you know?

Tony, that does suck. On the bright side, it was at work and you didn't have to pay to have it fixed.

Sorry you had that happen. I hate when things have been reset and it all looks different. But, like Alan said, it was at work and not home.

I googled a site for "Smallville, the tv series" and I found a site, clicked on it and thats when it happened. It really sucks that you can't even go to seemingly regular websites without fear of viruses.

Re: Virus on My PC
PC's are sensitive when it comes to websites and viruses. I hear these problems don't happen much with Mac's.

I suppose thats because most viruses are written to attack PC's and not mac's.

They are. One of the benefits of having a Mac.

Re: Virus on My PC
im sorry tony, that happened to me months back..
i was downloading from pirate bay, and caught a virus.. everytime i went to open a program, it would make thick clink noise and say this file is infected, it even did it when i tried opening my avg. i was scared... luckily for me my co worker is VERY good with computers, so he fixed it. i lost my microsoft office. one thing i asked him was to please save my music, i dont care bout anything else. an he did, i was happy, and happy with him.. i guess what he did was take my laptop back to its original state, so when i got it back everything was like brand new.
glad urs got fixed too tony

That sux about the bookmarks but glad ur system is virus free so you can still come online and post with us! Was your history cleared? If it wasnt then you can probably get most of ur bookmarks back.
