Guess who fell under attack this week? I tell ya–there’s nothing worse.
I was working and had to do a quick look-up on a website I’d just used earlier, but I put in .org instead of .com, and wham! I got notification that I’d been hit by a horse. It froze Google Chrome entirely. I couldn’t switch tabs, couldn’t shut down the alert, couldn’t close out the window. I opened another window, and it worked for a few minutes before the horse climbed into that stall too. Then I shut down the entire system. Turned off the computer and tried to go again.
What a nightmare.
My experience proves the importance of backing up your files on something other than your computer. If I’d limited myself to HP’s backup system, I would’ve lost everything.
It was horrible! The virus took over the system to the extent that it shut down…
