I have been absent a few days, mainly because I had a poorly Piglet on my hands and since I taught the damn kid to read, I haven't been able to safely cruise smut while she's around, grrr. Luckily my tender ministrations ("stop whining,") have cured her sufficiently to go to her dad's for the weekend! so I can get on with my smut-reading ... I mean my marking
Another reason I steered clear of going online was that a big disaster happened on my computer and I was worried in case it was a virus. I've been told No, but I want to warn anyone who is using AVG about this.
I downloaded AVG because I wanted a free antivirus thing. I did find it a nuisance as it pops up very often telling you to try other AVG products and buy it and all sorts - sometimes opening a window in the middle of me watching Poldark!!!
The other day AVG said I must restart my computer so it could do blahblah, so I did. When my computer was back on, there was no audio. When I went to the control panel to try and sort this out, there was no control panel. I could no longer open up my emails in the automatic popup window, only by going onto my internet browser.
I contacted AVG and you can tell how serious the problem is, since even though I have never paid a penny for their malware services, they immediately sent me a code to access a technician. He remotely went through my machine (which took a long time) and he told me some of the Windows files had either been stripped out or corrupted, and this was why my not-yet-a-year-old computer is not working properly. He can't fix it, and nor could a Microsoft remote technician although I have to say, she didn't really seem to know what she was doing. Probably if I paid $99 like they suggested they might have sorted it out for me.
But I had enough of that, I'm going to pay my local computer technician to come round in person and sort it out. This will be a great nuisance as although I don't mind people knowing I cruise smut, there are a few pictures which I probably ought to remove from my personal folders before I let some happily married young man skim through them while he and I are alone in my maisonette
I looked online and I see it has happened in the past that AVG identify some essential Windows file as a virus and strip it out, leading to all sorts of difficulties. I thought I had better warn anyone on here to treat AVG with extreme caution. I looked on the Microsoft website for a compatible antivirus thing, and they said AVAST is OK so I have got that for the time being. I will ask the computer guy for his advice.
OK! I must go now and catch up on my marking and my cleaning and the lawn, back soon!
