My computer was infected by a pernicious virus, knocking it out of commission for several days.
If something called "Antivirus 2009" tries to install itself on your computer, don't let it!
It looks legitimate, as if it's from Microsoft, but it isn't. Just run your own antivirus programs to get rid of it, or do what I did--have someone from your I.T. department at work or any computer expert to thoroughly clean the machine for you and completely rid you of the virus. I'm glad to be back, and I'm sorry if I worried anyone. Yes, I am still alive!
I should be posting the next part of my story soon now that I'm back in business!
It's good to be here again!
