My return....lol

Not that anyone would really notice at this point but I've been gone for about a month now. I had the misfortune to come home on Jan. 1 and find an almost dead computer. I still have no idea as to what exactly killed it but it doesn't really matter. A friend speculated that leaving Crazy Browser open and autosurfing was my downfall. Now don't get the wrong idea, I don't normally leave home when autosurfing. It was "New years" and there was a family situation that caused me to leave in a hurry. So, I had very limited function, to include no desktop. I was able to download my Pop3 e-mail but couldn't read it. I had to boot up in Safe Mode in order to read my e-mail. I spent 4 days trying to recover my "C" drive but it was useless. I finally gave up and did a re-install of XP. Now, was Crazy Browser the culprit? It may have contributed but it wasn't alone. It would have had to have been some type of virus that Crazy Browser wasn't equipped to stop/catch, (almost all if not all). That would leave me with a virus coming from an autosurf program which brings me to my point. Get the best anti-virus you can afford and or find. Scan your computer regularly and thoroughly. I can't identify the attacker but I can tell you this, it's vicious. I lost all my programs, emails, website login info and anything else that was on that drive. It'll probably be months before I can back to anywhere near where I was. Don't let this happen to you! Surf responsibly and safely at all times.
