I tried to fight it by downloading a anti-virus program and get my firewall up (it was turned off for some reason), but nothing helped in the long run. 180 infections were “healed” but 11 viruses remained and those were the big time ones eating at my hard drive and system files.

I’ve tried restoring files and also setting my system to a month before, but nothing works. I can’t use anything in the control panel as it keeps saying a certain file is corrupted or cannot be located. (thanks to the virus)

I’m not sure how this happened, but I have an idea of why it happened and who made it happen, but I shall not point fingers or say names…*cough*my mother*cough*.

It takes about 5 restarts to actually show anything on the desktop and I have about 10 minutes to do anything before it shut downs by itself. It’s extremely annoying since I’m trying to move important files I have to my external hard drive and don’t have enough time to do it.

I’m currently using my MAC iBook, which is useful (it has Abode CS2 installed) but it’s very slow…I need to find some better hardware for it. >_<

I’m going to try and see if anything can be done to save my desktop, but for now I’m fresh out of ideas and money to do anything worth it! It sucks really bad and I hope I can fix it soon, this MAC is a little bothersome and I don’t know how longer I can go without my beloved desktop!
