It's true --
Jul. 29th, 2008 07:52 pmNo good deed goes unpunished.
I let someone use my computer while theirs was down.
The next day, I noticed that things were running slow and some things seemed just -- not right.
I did a spyware scan and a virus check (in addition to the regualrly scheduled ones) and looked over recent downloads -- and sure enough, stuff was downloaded from sites I don't use. I deleted everything I could find and re-ran the checks.
Firefox is messed up, and a lot of the richtext functions in LJ (like loading pictures) aren't working,
Links work sporadically, and I can only run Firefox if it's the FIRST thing I start after a shutdown or a restart. Otherwise it won't load at all.
And the Kodak Easyshare program (which is what takes the pix off my camera), while it will let me email photos to people, will NOT find anything more recent than, say, three weeks ago if I try to upload to LJ, LJ scrapbook, Snapfish....
Well hockeypucks.
That'll learn me.
