Hey guys.

Yesterday I was hit with a bástard of a trojan (bloody greeks!). My comp completely froze over and I think it led me to a hacker.

I managed to back up pretty much everything luckily using dvd-r's. Lucky I invested in one a while back as I put everything on DVD's, which would have been 56 cds!!!!!

I lost all my music albums somehow. I opened the browser to them and it froze, I closed it and tried to open it and it had gone :oops: :oops: :?

Think it got corrupt somehow! Ill just have to rip all my music albums again for backup purposes etc...

Anyways, I managed to reinstall everything and copy it back over. I think I would have cried it I lost all my dance etc. I backed everything up on mp3 from my vinyl and had all my school work (including the website and my vinyl database) on my hard drive aswell, which I managed to salvage!

I cannot stress how important it is to make backups! I had my firewall on aswell and antivirus running and it still came through!!!

Ive kept my discs safe now and reformatted everything!

Just thought Id warn you chaps - Im gonna be more precautious now. The internet is like New York allyways (LOL!), YOU ARE NOT SAFE!

Absolutely! Been there before, and it isn't funny.

Glad you got it sorted mate :wink:
