What to do with a virus– Try to give it  soem antiboitics.

A virus is a bad thing to have both in your body and in your computer. Right at  this particular  moment  my body is virus  free and  I try to keep it  that way  by  eating  the  right foods and  getting  sufficient rest to stay  in good  health.

The problem is the  computer, which  is a complex mechanical and electronic  device, that  will either make  you  very happy or  very sad depending on its  performance. Two weeks ago the computer on my desk failed to perform, through no fault of its own. Someone fed it a virus and  I opened  it, then it  went to work, ooh my,  what a mess it  made of  the  hard drive.

It was like a civil war in the hard drive, if you can imagine it you can hear the cannons going off, clusters  were fighting  each other, sectors were running off and  not  doing  their  job, not only that  they were working the  Ram so hard it  was  over heating. Can you imagine  this the  little man from Microsoft  that  sends  out messages  told  me to “cool it down and  stop over working  the  Ram”. It wasn’t me doing it; it was that crazy virus that got into the computer. It was the first time I have ever gotten a message like that.

I turned off  everything  and  called  the  repair man, of  course  he  said  “bring it in” which I did.  I left  it  there in his care, and  he said  it’s a  worm not a virus,  but  who care what you  call it, it  still made  my computer sick , sick. He worked on it for two days and finally said “ok it is ready”. Wowee,  I can go back to work,  but  my  joy  was  short lived as soon as  I got  it  plugged in it was  up to  its  wormy tricks again, starting and stopping  with  no command  from me. You could type a while and the screen would go black and all activity would stop. It is very frustrating.

Then I called  the repairman to come  to  my house, he  did  and  worked on it  for  two  hours, finally  he  said,  “ok  you are all set”. Little did he   know that Mr. Worm was not giving up that easily? He  rested a day or  two then  started coming  back once a day until  I finally took it  back to  the  repair  shop. It was there for another week.

But  finally here  it  is telling  you its’ sad  story, for  now  the  worm seems  to be  gone, but  where we  don’t  really know. The computer has been on for several hours with no stopping so far.

You  know  when I was  a kid  and  had  worms  Mom  would  give me a big  spoonful of  cod  liver  oil and  that  was  really  bad but it got  rid of  the  worm. I hope what we have done here to my computer works as well as giving a kid  cod liver oil.
