Taxonomy upgrade extras:
She'll be offline for awhile until she can either afford to get it fixed or buy a different one. She called me this morning and asked me to post a blog to let people know so they won't worry if they don't see her online for a few days... so I'm letting you all know! LOL. Those of you who don't know her yet as Khadijah, will probably remember her as Gwen Brown or Khadijahgwen.
We don't know yet how long she'll be offline, but I can contact her, if anyone needs to tell her something, by phone. Hopefully it'll be something simple that went wonky with her computer, but we all know how cantankerous these machines can be.
For Khadijah, have a blessed day.

I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
it looks like .....hd failure
The desk top is on warantee so much of it may be covered. I happened upon a very nice guy at bestbuy. Sigh! Um very nice! Wallah !
So, I got a 500 gb xhd, and he is gonna try to back it all up and do th drive. So now I will get a better virus program than norton, if a virus was th root cause. He said that there are programs they use in their shop that are more battle hardened.
It still looks like I could be down a week.
If it helps, there's not
If it helps, there's not much out there that can really protect you against the viruses. Especially the extortionware.
(These are the modern equivalent of "Nice place you got here. Looks flammable. Be a shame if something happened to it." The current ones say 'You have a virus. Look, look, we've scanned and found four hundred different infections! You need to pay us 39.95 to activate your protection. We even have an official title like 'AntiSpyware 2011'! )
That said, it's unlikely that the virus crippled you that badly. You'd have been able to get into at least safe mode with a virus. (even the TDDS rootkit) You may have been a victim of the getting even more common 'Windows Update Death'. (If it just wouldn't finish booting).
I've had _three_ computers in the last two weeks, one today, in fact, which couldn't reboot from the windows updates on Windows 7.
