I might disappear for a while guys. It seems an attachment from one of my teachers has downloaded several (like 5 or more) Trojans onto my computer and I am having a bitch of a time trying to get them off. Every time I delete one another takes its place when I restart my computer. *sigh* Hopefully this problem will be resolved soon. If you

All I want to do is use LJ, *wahhhh* At least I have access at school.

Damn, that sucks. o_o System Restore isn't working? I agree with Katie; tell the proff asap.

...I actually haven't tried that. Tell me more...

I am not quite sure how to tell the teacher. I dropped his class and he doesn't have any office hours. And I am too scared to send him an email from my parents computer because I would have to check it from there and I would rather dislike having my parents try to kill me.

XP directions here.

Um, can you use a public computer, or email his TA? That's about all I can think of. Emailing him won't give you a virus, just opening any attachments in his reply.

Uhmm, if you haven't yet, try doing a system restore. Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore. Pick a day BEFORE you opened the email. (Any day) I remember I accidentally installed a trojan/spyware thing called IEMonster, but I did a system restore, and it undid all the bad stuff that happened, and I quickly installed an antivirus program, lol.

If that doesn't work, you could try visiting the tech people at ACM?

??? Or go tot he library and ask them if they can point you to the techie people? because I know there's a place on campus where you take take them your laptop, and they'll just help you with spyware/ etc but. .. yeah.

Uhm, I hope that helped.
