I’ve written in the past about how slow I am to adapt to technology, but today I outdid myself and here is why I deserved the two slices of cheesecake I had today.
I was already super annoyed by the fact that my laptop was missing a couple of keys (the darn things just pop off and hide, apparently) but to top it off, the space bar on the keyboard popped off and the spring holding it in broke. Fortunately, I had seen this coming a couple of weeks ago and already had a replacement keyboard here in my hands, only…I had NO clue about replacing laptop keyboards. Luckily, I found a website that offered a step-by-step tutorial and in 5 minuted flat I had the job done. If I had known it would be that simple, I would have attempted it sooner.
But apparently, that challenge wasn’t enough because, “HELLO MALWARE!!”. My laptop had been hijacked during the night and I was about to wave my little white flag when I found the website Bleeping Computer. This is in no way a paid advertisement, but seriously….if you ever have virus/spyware issues with your computer, this website will save you many tears of frustration. After following some super easy instructions, I had the laptop rid of the malware and ready to go.
I love channeling my inner geek. She makes me feel smart.
I actually found some very helpful info from bleeping Computer last week when my computer contracted the Google Redirect Virus. Super helpful!
Color me impressed. You go!
