I've just spent the last eleven days recovering my computer after a major
crash wiped out critical portions of the operating system. Not a fun
deal. It's recovered to basic operation and fortunately no data was lost,
but it will require some continuing clean-up as I use various
applications. Some shared executables were lost; major ones have been
restored but loss of lesser ones will have to be "discovered" and apps are
being re-installed before I use them (not a fun task). A standard
operating system backup would have cured some of the problems and shortened
recovery, but by all that much.
Back on-line and among the living again . . . after downloading just under
2500 emails this afternoon!
No worm or virus . . . first thing I did was a complete machine scan . . .
but during the massive download of mail I ensnared three with worm
attachments. If you're not running something to find and trap this stuff,
you should be . . . and keep its data files updated, too!
