70's
I can't access the net due to a virus or something according to my service
provider. I have'nt made a backup of my MS Office files or anything else
(brand new pc, came with lots of good stuff loaded, but no back up cd's.)
I did make the recovery disks last week, while still infected, just didn't
realise how bad this was at the time, and I hope the virus didn't get into
the disks.
Right now it seems to be mostly the IE that's affected, and according to the
senior tech at the SP, it's corrupted the regedit to the point they couldn't
help me anymore and suggested I take the pc in, or format the HD.
I don't mind formatting, I just don't want to lose all the goodies I haven't
played with yet, and hoped to take the easier route by fixing this thing
instead of starting all over agian.
I just thought that maybe if I loaded another browser (Netscape good
enough?) that at least I could still use the pc till I got it fixed?
Right now I have a laptop hooked temporarily in the kitchen, and it' can't
stay there too long, and this is a pain in the (_|_).
Thanks to all who can help me with this.
