Tray Rives Security Problems
A few years ago I got some virus on my computer, most likely through downloading music. I couldn't be on the computer without hundreds of Internet Explorer windows popping up. I then had to spend close to three hours on the phone with Dell support talking me through how to wipe my hard drive clean and redo my computer. I no longer illegally download music.

I had a very similar situation occur with my computer Tray. As a freshman I was downloading music left and right and of course caught a virus. It was not obvious at first and at time I had just finished a final research paper for a class. I did not have any of my work backed up and when I returned from dinner one night my hard drive decided to malfunction. I lost everything and had to rewrite the paper! I have learned to back up everything I do from now on.
ReplyDeleteWow...another story about viruses via music downloads. I have to have my daughter read these experiences to impress upon her how risky it is.
