Both the time when I had to format my computer it was the same old problem. A virus infecting the PC. first time I did not have an antivirus but the next time I had McAfee installed but it wasn't updated , so it was a new virus this time and I was left with nothing but to format because I only had old software with me that time and I also live in a remote area so, I don't have access to all this software stuff. But now I have access to Internet and I also have subscribed to a magazine that provides you with new stuff and softwares. So, life's good for now!
no internet in nowhere
by killav - 8/21/07 3:06 PM In reply to: Viruses! eeeeehaw!! by shivammaxI've had that experience myself, friends would download stuff (like those nasty keygen trojans!) and your antivirus is six months behind so it seems like you've always got a problem or your computers shutting down
