Due to my Laptop being effected by a bad computer virus, I will  not be able to get Mark's Memories or the Character Actor bios done as quickly.  There may be a delay since I'm having to "share" my home computer with my son.

I hope to be back up and running soon, but my laptop has to be wiped clean and everything reinstalled in order to get rid of the virus.  It doesn't funciton well enough for me to use right now.

Please be patient!

Michelle,

Guess you should have taken your computer to one of the clinics and got it innoculated against the Flu virus.

It's a fake security software called "Personal Guard 2009."  It was somehow loaded on my computer and has totally taken it over!  I advise that if anyone gets this on their computer to take care of it IMMEDIATELY!!!

There is information on the Internet about how to get it off, BUT none of it has worked for my co-worker.  So it's going to be less of a headache  just to wipe my computer clean then to spend many, many hours trying to figure out HOW to get it off. My virus must be in the advanced stages because when he puts the software on my laptop that these Websites advise, my virus OVERRIDES this software...You take off one of the files, this software puts it right back on...

He ran a virus scan on my computer and foudnd 500 or 600 other spywares/Trojans on my computer that he removed so this thing has indeed done A LOT of damage!!!

I hope you do not have as much trouble as we had on our computer.  It took weeks to get everything back up and running.

The virus could not be removed, so my entire hard drive was wiped clean.  The good news is I now have Windows 7 and Microsoft 2007!  I was also able to recover all my documents.  Yeah!
