I leave my f'n computer open and vulnerable for one f'n day to troubleshoot incoming FTP & RDP session problems, and my f'n computer illiterate parents decide to fall for some fake UPS email and click on it and run it. Damn thing took over their comp and rebooted it, and by the time they come ask me what happened it had taken over mine and completely hosed the MBR or something because it wouldn't completely boot....
F'N A guess it's a good thing my laptop was off and I have an extra comp in the closet I can use to copy down some stuff. |

when it comes to computers, yeah, big time. hell, electronics in general. when i came home i got digital cable and now uverse, they cannot figure out the damn things. they always end up turning the box off or changing the inputs on the tv or getting the two out of state somehow and get all bitchy.

so this has turned out to be about the worst virus i've ever seen. i forget the name of it but it started with that fake UPS email. i started douching all the computers and reformatting/etc, and my boot drive (a WD raptor) wouldn't reformat. i DLed the WD drive diagnostic software, and it tells me the drive is completely hosed and to RMA it. luckily it's still under warranty but damn, this has got to be one of the worst viruses i've ever seen. or it's an insane coincidence and the raptor just failed, but i seriously doubt that.

I'm just giving you a hard time. I lived with my folks for a short bit too.
Did they open that email on your computer or was it on theirs and it just propagated across the network? -------------------- |

QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Jul 25 2008, 10:09 AM) I'm just giving you a hard time. yeah i know . I am sick of living at home though, just figure I should milk it and use it as an opportunity to pay some stuff off before I buy a house. Plus I need to milk it through the winter months, as my deal with them is I pay the electric & cable/internet bills, and f'n A the electric bills here get nasty during the summer (but nice and cheap during the winter  ).QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Jul 25 2008, 10:09 AM) Did they open that email on your computer or was it on theirs and it just propagated across the network? they opened it on their computer and I think it ended up on mine somehow. or it could have just been an amazing coincidence that my drive failed at the same time... |

in other fun news, while I was messing with these drives last night and using the WD diag software to determine what the prob was, I decided to just go ahead and completely douche the boot drive with zeroes to clear it off, and accidentally began the zero write on my storage drive (a 1 TB western digital)... I realized it at about 2% complete so hopefully I didn't lose anything. I have a backup of it on my external drive which was off, but still, would lose the last few weeks of work I've done on my new site (all of it) as well as a bunch of family photos taken last week...
 I'm trying out some recovery software, hopefully it will work, says it's found like 20,000 files after about 8 hrs on that drive already so I'm hoping I can get it all back. will definitely be setting up some sort of nightly backup of project/photo directories once I get everything back to square 1. |
