I started up R2 this afternoon and had one of those spyware programs hijack my computer. After trying a couple of fixes and getting hit with pop ups every 2 minutes, I saved everything I could think of and reformatted.
I backed up my writing files, my icons, and my pics but I don't know if they're infected. So I don't know if I saved any of the new versions of the epic or the Challenge Fic. I hadn't finished anything significant on them so I hadn't sent them to anyone and I can't remember if I have back up anywhere on my external drive.
And just like I expected, I forgot something. i forgot my bookmarks. So I have no backup of all the research I'd done for the Epic and my other stories, stories I was reading, stories I was going to read, and my favorites. All of it gone. POOF.
The concert trip seems to be a no go and my vacation seems to be no go too.
*sighs* Ctrl Alt Delete would be awesome right now.
I did get the Star Trek novelization though. So maybe I should curl up with that and forget about today.
Also, I'm curious. I'm going to do something to back up my favorite fic bookmarks. I'm not exactly sure what to do. I really don't want to sign into anything extra. I'd store them on here, but I hate wading through tags. Does anyone have any ideas?
