these idiots who make these computer viruses make me sick. So many people don't know how to wipe their computers and redo them and have to pay an IT tech to fix them, then there are any files that you forget to back up that get lost. just cyberspace vandals. I always back up and I learnt how to do my windows. Only way to survive them without costing money.
