Ah Lisa i am praying for you & your machine !!!carolyn

Aww Judy-that stinks-lucky for you tho, that it's only going to cost you $80-could be alot worse and at least you have your laptop-not totally cut off from internet. Hope the virus didn't mess up any of your files ~linda~

Judy, so sorry to hear that - hope it gets fixed soon - for you.

So sorry to hear this...hope not too much damage to your files...Hugs sally

Oh Judy, computers....they are way to necessary and surely evil when it comes to times like these. I am so sorry.

Oh man, that is a bummer! I am always afraid I will get one but my son has a virus scan on my PC so hopefully I will be fine. I got a laptop the week before Christmas and it is nice to check in with you girls while spending time with hubby but my downloads are all done from the PC. I have most backed up on CD but ones I got since Thanksgiving aren't backed up yet. Good luck, I know it isn't fun to pay $80 for repairs because there are evil people out there that have nothing better to do than hurt others!

Hi Judy, you have picked up this particular threat from a website.
There is a way to remove it and if you had contacted us before you took your pc to the shop, we could possibly have helped as there are several here who had this happen to them a few months ago.

I do hope your pc tech doesn't charge you too much to fix your pc.
Hugs n sympathy, Meganne

JUDY I AM SEW SORRY THAT YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS! I TOO USE MY LAPTOP FOR DL BUT MY PC IS ONLY FOR MY MACHINE. I AM AFRAID OF THIS VERY THING! IT IS LESS EXPENSIVE TO REMOVE A VIRUS THAN TO BUY A NEW EMBROIDERY MACHINE!GOOD LUCK!

Sorry to hear this - Meganne has just told us all about an e mail she received. We just have to be so careful. Hope all will be well soon.

I wish we could give a "virus" to these awful people who make these viruses. I hope all is back to normal quickly for you.

My desktop is also in the shop. Just gave up the ghost and looks like I will have to get a new one but didn't want to go to windows 7

I hope it all works out. You made me realize how lucky
I am to have a son and a DH that know computers. They have a back up system that backs up every night.

I too had that virus. It cost me $164.00 to get it out. They restored everything . The day after that my credit card company called and said someone was trying to use it . With all this my husband had back surgery and now I have the shingles. I think I am snake bit.

Dear Judy,

I hope you can get your 'puter back as soon as possible. I cannot understand the mentality of some people who cause these viruses. Like you say why don't they use their brain for good. Love and blessings Chris

Judy, what was indicating that your computer was infected? I've had my computer go through this where I could not do anything with my computer, including boot, without this routine taking over. It was a lovely piece of malware that looked like an anti-virus program saying my comp was infected, and would clean it if I paid $79.95. I had to boot in safe mode, and do a system-restore back to before I got attacked. Then I ran my REAL antivirus program and did a complete scan to removed whatever I had picked up.. Don in TX

Sorry to hear that, hope everything works out fine for you, hugs.*****

Oh Grams, I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you haven't lost all of your designs. Good luck, San
