Hit by virus on my PC in Tenerife

Have just spent the last week with no computer. Despite having virus protection on the computer it was hit by two viruses that wiped us out. As this is the hotel computer it meant we lost all our records, enquireries contacts etc. It has taken a week to get us back on line and to reload programmes etc.
I felt like I was cut off from the outside world and was having forum withdrawrel symptoms. Now I am back on line and ready for my daily dosage.

Have just finished reading Steven Kings book "Cell" where a virus in mobile phones affects everyone that uses them on a certain day. Good read and pretty scarey if it could happen!!!!!

Hit by virus on my PC

That's like the George Lazenby James Bond film where the girls were hypnotised and instructed by their powder compacts! Just a thought......
