Dear Molly... I mean LJ Genie...

Okay. Moving on.

I have now run the free TrendMicro scan program on my desktop. I have also run SpyBot Search and Destroy.

TrendMicro found four infected files, which it deleted. Search and Destry found nothing.

I am still getting unexpected restarts and strange popups.

What should I try next?

hurricane stuff behind the cut, please?

I know that the hurricane has had a huge impact on everybody's life. But at a certain point, the data gets overwhelming. When it gets overwhelming, it stops being useful.

If you're posting about hurricane stuff (be it benefits, links to info, new news, etc) could you please put it behind the cut? If you are already doing this, then you rock.

Thanks,

-H

oh, the many viruses

So far, the total number of viruses/infected files/whatever found and deleted on my computer is eleven.

In other computer health news, we have established that the battery on my laptop does charge, and will hold a charge for several hours once unplugged. So things are looking good.
