EndreWhiteMane: Morning Crow, getting hot here but otherwise all good.
Did you get your machine sorted?
CarrionCrow: Yes, I did. Bought an external hard drive, got everything backed up, then reformatted.
Weird thing is, despite using every scan that I saw mentioned as a way to kill the virus, nothing was ever shown as being present.
It seems ridiculously optimistic to think that I somehow managed to dodge getting it, but aside from the initial ransomware scam bullshit screen, I never had a problem.
Never got locked out, never had to fix the problem via USB-installed program or recovery CD.
Very odd.
Ah well. Spent most of my spare coin on the hard drive, but I'd been needing to do that for a while now.
How's your day going aside from debating whether or not to turn the AC on?
I've had pop-ups of that type at work a few times, I was able to remove them as long as no one clicked on them. Fortunately I have the people at work trained to scream at me before they click anything they haven't seen before.
Doing fine here other than it's getting pretty warm, nowhere near ready to turn the air on though. ;)
Edit: I do have 4 games I'm trying to decide between.
Anna, Serpent in the Staglands, Wings of Glory and Vessel.
Only buying one of them this month so I need to decide what mood I'm in. :-)
Edit edit: I meant Wings of Prey. :/
