Today was very frustrating. We were both working from home (and the working part provided half the frustration, but that’s all I’m going to say about that), and when I booted my laptop this morning (my personal laptop, not my work laptop), I discovered a virus. And not just any virus. This was a monster virus that hijacked every program I tried to run. I couldn’t open a browser, I couldn’t run any .exe files, I couldn’t do anything. With John’s help (and the help of the internet via my work laptop and John’s computer), we were able to use the system restore feature to go back to last night, before the virus, and then get rid of it. But it took HOURS. John took the opportunity to blame Windows for this security failure and has me seriously considering installing the easiest version of Linux. As long as I can open most documents and get to the internet, I don’t really care what operating system I use, so I’ll probably at least try it. If I actually make it to the office tomorrow and the next day, though, it’ll have to wait for the weekend.
