a Picture a Day - Day Seventeen

So I got my computer back from Geek Squad. Again. They wiped everything and I'm pretty much starting over again. They did back up some of my stuff though so I haven't lost it all. While I was there picking up my computer I decided to get Norton 360. I have since installed it and it's freaking me out. While I was transferring something from my Geek Squad backup to my external, Norton said it found some Trojans (disguised as PDF files I guess) and had contained them. I guess that means that Geek Squad didn't really ever get it. And I keep getting messages that stuff has been found and contained, and while I'm happy to hear they're contained, I just keep thinking that my computer is a mess and I'm so paranoid right now. I don't see how I'll ever be able to relax any more. I wish so much that I didn't have such an unhealthy obsession with the internet and that I didn't form attachments to inanimate or virtual items. I'm running a complete scan right now and I already have a headache (woke up with one, probably because I didn't go to sleep until about 4am). I just want to never have to worry about this stuff again. As if. Maybe I should get a Mac next time.




Doctor Who's Christmas special on DVD, a magnifying lens/monocle necklace thingy, and my first batch of GetGlue.com stickers :)

I'm glad they backed up some of your files and that Norton is tackling the Trojans. Hopefully, Norton will get rid of the problem for good.

Cool goodies!

It seems like Norton really does work. I'm just one of those neurotic people where seeing Norton go about its business actually makes me more nervous/paranoid. I also don't like knowing anything about the human body because in my head, if I know how it works, it might stop working. Yeah... I don't know either ;)

Getting that package was definitely a much needed moment of happiness today ^_^

We all have our quirks. ;)

:D I'm glad to hear it.
