virus kills

i've had very stressful week. the laptop bugged down on monday night. it would have been a simple reformat for drive C if the technician had been careful enough and had bothered to back up first documents in drive D. but he hadn't. my turmoil stretched till thursday night. i wished i hadn't brought it to UM. i wish i had waited for the technician who would have been available on wed this week. but i was too impatient to wait for 1 night and brought the laptop to UM. hahay! nasa huli ang pagsisi. a lot of files were not recovered. some were recovered but could not be opened. i think it got corrupted. the lessons learned from the experience:

1. back-up files always - CD write!
2. virus check USB flashdrives and cds before opening
3. update anti-virus applications always - Kaspersky is highly recommended
4. DeepFreeze is also recommended
5. don't open the YM automatic unreadable message sent - ITS A VIRUS!!!!
6. before reformatting, back-up files
7. don't trust the technician, stay and watch during the process
8. PATIENCE is a VIRTUE. - wait another day for a better technician. Don't settle for someone who has a cheaper fee. Your files are worth more than what you could be paying.

i lost a lot of files. i was able to burn most of it. but the most important files, MY CAD and SKETCH-UP files for work were corrupted. huhuhu i guess its back to the drawing board for me. waaahhh! why does the samson cad file have to be the one corrupted?! it was the one with the most drawings, biggest file size, the first cadworks i did for my apprenticeship and the one i slaved measuring on site. why?! why?!

i hate computer VIRUSES! i hate those people who made those viruses! i hate those people who doesn't bother to clean-up their computers and flashdrives!!
