did a silly thing, clicked a link and in an instant wiped out everything on my computer.My local computer geek ,it hsn't
I am not a techy so it is going to take a while to get up and running before I can get going ie resizing shots etc.I even lost my elderly version of photoshop'.
I am still in a state of shock as to how I did such a stupid thing..
So bare with me as I try and get back again and get up and running

| Well, crap! Did it wipe out your files, or just your system and apps? |

I did worse
Deleted ALL my original shots from the last 5 years (250,000 pictures)
trying to restore it but it will take 3 years of deep scan in my HDD
not entering anything from now on.

well all I can do is add programs as I need them off the web, I have uploaded Picasa
for its ease of uploading and use.I assume there are others.I had an early version of
Photoshop circa3 I think that was quite handy.
Well all I can say is be vigilent once they get into your photos, they may try for your wallet'
I am thinking of upgrading my PC and making a new start. my Sony Laptop is 10 or so and been upgraded and serviced regularly. |

This is horrid, Nick. But I do admire your spirit.
Now go out there and make new photos! |

I recently clicked on a link.. as soon as the page loaded sirens went off.. loud "BING BING BING".. it scared me and I clicked off immediately. Fortunately, nothing happened.. I attribute this to my Norton 360 LifeLock. |
