It's in a computer shop right now; I hope that it's going to be okay. It's all my brother's fault, he downloads all of this random junk, so he probably downloaded a virus. I think that I'm going to have to reinstall Windows, but I lost my Windows disk so I might have to buy a new one. This sucks! >:(
ouch :(
well hope you get your computer back soon ;)
I hope all your files can be recovered at least.
How about you get a good security system and have weekly virus scans? It's the only surefire way to keep any virus's out.

I have all my files saved on a backup hardrive, so I'm not worrying about that.
I hope you wore a seatbelt.

I usually run spybot once a week, but I was away from my computer for a few weeks (I've been using my sister's old iBook :P). Apparently my brother tried to download something and my computer got a virus. :(

Spybot doesn't catch all that much stuff.

Can you suggest a better program? I'm not that great with my computer security.
