The Swine Flu Infected My Computer February 26, 2010
Posted by Emily in : Photography, Thoughts , trackbackI downloaded a virus.
I was just minding my own business, doing a little search on google, and BAM!
I was infected.
I know! I want to die!
I’m not sure how this mean little Trojan horse got past my anti-virus software, but David and I had a few loud words to share with Avast!
The only program this virus seems to have infected is PHOTOSHOP.
Now, I REALLY WANT TO DIE.
Photoshop to me is like texting is to a teenager girl.
It’s almost as important as my RIGHT hand.
I use it everyday. My classes require it. My work requires it.
So, I’ve obviously felt a bit handicapped since this nasty virus decided to destroy my life.
Today David is stripping our hard drives, and re-installing EVERY PROGRAM.
This is going to take a hundred years. I just know it.
But, now we will officially be using Windows 7 (we’ve been using the trial version for six months now and it expires in a week) and I love it so much more than Vista and XP, so Windows 7 it is!
We are also the proud owners of two more terabytes. That makes FOUR terabytes for us.
I can’t believe I just wrote that. I remember (not too long ago!) when I first head about terabytes. I was like, “WHEN IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD YOU EVER NEED THAT MUCH SPACE?”
Well, we do. I guess it’s been a million years. :) We (meaning David) plans to stripe the terabytes and mirror them, so we will never suffer from a catastrophic hard drive crash. Basically, we will have two terabytes of storage space and two terabytes to backup our stuff. If you think I have any idea what I’m talking about, you’d be mistaken. I’m creative, David is techie, so together we’re a good team. :)
I wanted to post a couple images from yesterday’s shoot.
This little guy is getting baptized next week:
(More pics from this session soon)
And this fun group . . .
Well, lets just say it was “Nunsense!” More images of this fun group starring in the musical “Nunsense” will be coming soon . . .
Opening night is in a week! More details later. (Meaning, more details, as soon as I know any, or where to find them, or whatever.)

So, sorry to hear it!! That stinks! Hope all the re-installation goes well. The first computer we had when we got married was 4 count them 4 GB. Is that insane? I have a memory card that size now.
Ha ha! Cheryl! I love how you had a 4 GB hard drive! That is an SD card for me too! I probably shouldn’t laugh though, when we got our first computer after we were married, (1997) it was 233 MEGAHERTZ and we we SO EXCITED to have a computer that was “lighting” fast (at that time)!
That is really scary! I need to have my BIL come over and a.) fix our computer issues and b.) set up our account with his company Mozy so that we too will protected. That really sucks Em, and I hope your extremely smart/computer genius of a husband can get it back up and working.
Hi Em
You are much nicer than I am. I called my virus a “computer STD”. LOL. I got the “nexplore” virus last week and Brian had to delete everything for me too. Wah! It was a lesson for me to back everything up!!
Hope to see you back soon.
