ORIGINAL: sirsholly Guys...a warning here. Whereas the smiley faces are cute and charming, they are also deadly to a computer. The tech counted over 150 virusesĀ and stopped counting. He called and said he has to wipe out the entire computer (sob!). Every picture, bookmark, etc is gone!!! (loud whine!) He tried to save some of the pictures for me, but they were also infected with all the viruses and it was not possible. And before some wise-ass asks (JEFF!!!) yes we have all the typical virus protection and ran periodic virus scans. There was nothing we could do, as the final virus was so deadly it prevented us from logging on to run the scan. We were the 4th people to bring their computers in this week with the same thing (he called it a worm). He said the main culprits are the charming smilies, Facebook, MySpace, and sites such as that. Please be careful guys. You do not realize how precious some of the things are that you have stored on your computer until they are gone. The pictures.....*sob* I know, it took me forever to get all this porn on mine!
