Yesterday was interesting. Apparently some virus or trojan sent out some nasty videos to friends on Facebook. The inbox was reeling with everyone either notifying me, making funny jokes, or settling in to panic mode (like I did it - right). There wasn't really any way to send out one general notice via Facebook. It just went about and happened. It was kind of a frustrating and helpless experience. The worse part about it was that our home computer was really messed up. I went through about 12 hours of clean up on that computer. There was a ton of things on there. Probably from a long time ago. Check this out: there were over 1500 things that it found! Granted, much of it was adware but there ended up being several trojans and worms gobbling around in there. That explains why it has been real sluggish in recent times! Thanks to my friend Larry Hummerich (from Answermaxx), I got some software to clean it all out. It is amazing how much better that computer is running. One interesting part of the process was to initially do a 'system restore'. It is basically like a flux capacitor for computers. You send it back to the state it was in a week ago (before the latest trojan hit it) and then start cleaning from there. Very interesting...and it worked!
Last night we had a GREAT time at dinner with the Carrolls and Eichelbergers. It was kind of a farewell dinner for Bill and Rachel. We were at Mon Ami Gabi in Oak Brook. There is nothing like spending and evening with some great friends. I don't know, we were there maybe 3 hours or so.
Good times...
