Call it the Conficker Virus, or call it coincidence, but my aged 2003 Microshit Office installation fell over today, killing off my email. After a re-install I found that none of my word documents would open. Hmm.

So, after restoring from Sunday’s backups and finding them still un-openable, I’ve swapped to OpenOffice. Now all is well.

The only reason I haven’t switched completely to something better than XP, like Ubuntu GNU/Linux, is that Live for Speed needs windows…..

And yes, I am current on all XP fixes and twiddles, and my anti-virus software is tip-top.

I’ve been getting sick and fed up recently of people moaning at me to find out why there PC is running slow, or why they can’t access the internet. In all on the last 7 cases it has been down to the abominable AVG Anti-Virus and Internet Security tools. Tools which are a real bugger to uninstall.

So, idiots, here is a declaration: If AVG has screwed up your computer, don’t ask me to fix it. You deserve all you get.
