So yesterday I was just poking around online, clicking from link to link, looking for interesting articles about current events and movies and celebrities, just looking to be entertained. Well, I clicked the wrong link somewhere, because next thing I knew, random web pages started popping up on my screen without me clicking on anything.
My laptop got infected by a virus. Because I clicked on some spam link by mistake.
Fortunately for me, part of my husband’s job is to bring home laptops from work that no one is using and get them cleaned up and ready in case someone needs one. He just happened to have one that he brought home on Friday, so he installed Firefox on it for me and transferred over My Documents in case I needed something, and this morning I’m ready to go.
Except for one thing- he wasn’t able to get Outlook installed. Which means that a., the emails will be piling up like mad and I’ll have a bazillion to go through tomorrow, and b., I don’t have access to the folders that I made with reviews I need to do and giveaways I need to start!
SO, if you read this feed and are waiting for me to review something or start a giveaway, please email me at the address shown under “Meet MomReviews”. I’ll get back to you and we’ll figure something out!

That sucks. Sometimes, when I’m wandering around online, I click on a link and it takes me to a page that looks very different from what I thought I’d be going to, or has all sorts of pop ups. Terrible, the fact that there’re all these sites out there trying to dump nasty stuff into your system.

I think you are right. There are more people who are offline then those who are online. So we are missing on a huge list of buyers who do not use internet for purchases. Thanks for the ideas and info.
I am soooo sorry. I know how much it stinks to not have what you need to get work done. Any hope to get your laptop back in working order?
Sorry to hear about you meltdown. Sometimes it seems like technology is against us. When it goes really bad i take my computer to the geek squad. The prices are steep but the service is good.
