Welcome back, Jason!!
I've been out on an unintended vacation, myself. I got hit with some type of Malware that called itself, "XP Antivirus Pro 2010" and had an appearance that was very sophisticated and very "Microsoftian" (even little things like the floating window complete with the appropriate colors). It showed that you had an infected computer by displaying its "findings" and then, instructed you to
register and pay by credit card for their "service".
Needless to say, I didn't take them up on their offer but, getting my machine back and in working order took some time. (It appears that when I ordered this machine from Dell, I did NOT get the system recovery disks and the repair folks wound up needing them, after all. I got a new hard drive - 500 Gb and the repair folks were just going to clone the old drive and then do the 'restore' from there but, they had a boatload of problems doing that so, we had to get the recovery disks. It took 4 days to get them via Fed Ex!)
I also opted to get a new anti-virus software (Kaspersky).
So, this wound up being a rather expensive, unintended vacation.
I am soooooooo glad to be back!!!
