I’ve already received about 300 notices that my hard drive is damaged. If I click on them, it will reboot again. Evidently my RAM is also nearly gone, whatever the hell that is.

My memory is nearly gone, even though I store nothing on this computer. No music, no movies, nothing.

The sun is coming up here, and despite how tired I am, I’ll end up sleeping during the day Sunday because I’m as mad as a hornet.

As I sit here, I am watching notices coming up, one by one, announcing which system file is being destroyed.

Beware, these scoundrels are using the normally safe and reliable Adobe to do this. It came across as an Adobe.exe thing.

Turn it off and take to someone. A wise man knows when to admit defeat.A reasonably savvy computer person can fix it easily.
The disk notices could be fake. Viruses do not attack hardware.

Daisyjane,

I am so sorry you are undergoing this. I’ve been through it and it is a pain. Thanks for trying to warn the rest of us.

In my experience, a virus attack on a home computer really stinks. I found I could milk an advantage on my work computer, though:) Any time someone called to complain that I hadn’t handled some detail, I would apologize and then tell them my computer had been victimized by a virus. They were very sympathetic. You can use this excuse for up to 6 months:)

Should you do a system recovery, as in post #34, then see post #63. After the recovery it will look as though you've lost all your data, like the stuff you keep in My Documents, but you probably haven't.
