Aza Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 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! Quote
