Not having antivirus on my computer has finally caught up with me... and my poor little baby is in not-so-good-of-shape. Hopefully I'll be able to take it to the IT department of campus and they'll fix her like new... for free.
Problems arose when I was tired of all these stupid pop-ups from windows security and Norton internet security about how many infections I had blah blah blah. So I tried upgrading either of those... didn't work (for some reason neither my safari nor my internet explorer would load the pages) so I did some research (read: googled) about top rated antiviruses and picked the highest rated cheap one. Fool proof, right?
I bought it, it god sent to my email, I was ready for download. Oooooof course until I found out that I couldn't download my new one until I got rid of Norton... which, upon investigating... is nearly impossible. Norton has made their program such that you can't remove it without ruining something. So... I don't know what I did... I backed up all my music and documents and other important things onto my external hard drive though... so... even if it does go bonkers, I won't lose everything.
I downloaded a Restore and Recovery program from Lenovo for IBM thinkpads... but so far that hasn't accomplished anything...
I'm hungry and ready to be done with school.
