So Pissed
STUPID ASS COMPUTER!!
So today my lovely computer decided to get infected with some virus called Antivirus Pro (damn the person to HELL who created it). It caused all kinds of mayhem on my computer. I could access the internet fine except every second a new tab was opening up in another language. I was trying to get to geekstogo.com but it was impossible. So then I was try to open the computer in safe mode but no luck. I had a sinking feeling I would have to restore my computer to default settings but I was praying I was wrong. So I shut down the computer and called tech support. Sadly I was told I would have to reset my computer. But here's the kicker.
I went to a special tech support office that handled virus related problems. They told me that I didn't have that kind of tech support under my warranty and I would have to pay a one time fix it fee of $189. OR I could buy a year long warranty for $250-$300. (sidenote..Why does it cost so much for a one time fee? Its damn near the same price for a year long warranty. I guess this is their way of trying to hoodwink people into buying the warranty.) Either I couldn't afford it. So she told me I would have to do system restore and that if I paid the fee I could have it fixed then and there.
Now I had done system restore before. In fact I was thinking of doing that before I called them. But it amazed me that they wanted me to pay that much money for something I was going to do on my own. In the end I thanked them for the advice and told them I would handle it on my own.
I'm still pissed though. Thank god I uploaded all my pics, textures, and icons to photobucket yesterday. The only real loss is my itunes collection which I have to manually re-upload. That's going to be a pain encoding songs, artists, and albums.
