A friend notified me that a new patch was out for Skyrim Special Edition. A computer game we both play. I searched for the patch and found a program that would download and install the patch for me. It looked completely innocuous, but I should of known it would be too good to be true. I installed it and all the script and writing on my computer immediately turned to Russian Cyrillic rendering my computer useless. Then the nasty bestiality porn popups started. I quickly booted up with my rescue DVD and reimaged my drives and solved the problem. It really pays to back up your computer every week. I back up all my computers on Sunday nights at 7:00 PM. I lost a little bit of data, a weeks worth, but didn’t have to fall back to disastrous measures such as reinstalling Windows 10 from scratch and losing all my data.

Oooh, and you should know better!! But I do understand. I have this nephew who, on Facebook, sent me a funny video of a woman opening a candy box of flying roaches in a locked car (revenge for her cheating). Funny until the virus hit. The "Jennifer" as I call it. A fake Microsoft employee will sell you away to get them off your computer. That one. Thanks nef!
And then, years later, same nephew sent me something Waa-Waa FML and when I went to open it, it got all caught up in my Norton and if the sound had been on, a siren would have gone off! And I don't know if he even knows he's sending me viruses? Why would he, it's a BIG family, so why would he target me? And why am I the only one who gets the virus as the rest of the family is sure I am nuts?
Oh and the Cloud. Is that like Heaven? Do all little kids believe in the Cloud? I don't. LOL
