A very tricky and evil virus infected my system about a year ago, and 9 months ago I started noticing the signs. Quick flickering of screen at some start up screens, programs that get clicked and do nothing, then to my suprise over the last few months I've noticed that my browser would go wherever it wanted, despite my typing direct URL's into it.
The virus got into my system so cleanly, that by the time I initiated some scans, it had made itself undetectable; hiding in .exe files and marking them as 'corrupt' even though they weren't.
Long story short: I am still recovering my data. Luckily I have an external drive so I didn't lose anything, however like having a wallet stolen: the time committment of getting everything back up and running can be a hassle.
now....is this literal? or metaphorical?
ReplyDeletebecause i was reading it metaphorically, and it was pretty dang good.
well i guess it could be both.
