Well, there's a first time for everything, I guess. I finally ended up with a computer virus. It hijacks my search engine and generally lets me only go to sites where I can buy whatever it is I searched for. So, if I searched for Red Skelton, it would take me to a site that sells Red Skelton paintings.
Also, my computer can not go to any anti-virus or spyware sites. Not even Microsoft downloads. The browser just plain shuts down. So, husband has been hogging my computer all day, trying to fix it. He is going to bring home a USB dvd burner tomorrow for me to burn all of my files onto DVD discs, and then wipe my computer. I need my computer for work!
If any of you have had this problem before, can you please let me know what it was and how you fixed it? I will be using husband's computer while he is using mine, but he won't be giving it up easily, and I don't want to hang out in his computer room all day.
