Well, it finally happened. A computer virus appeared on my home PC. Fortunately, it didn't do much damage. However, it was incredibly irritating! Every 5 seconds or so, a screen would pop up stating that there was a particular program that had to close. In order to continue working, that pop-up screen had to be closed. You can imagine how difficult it was to type a sentence. After consulting with family members with some knowledge of computers, I figured out that the virus' home was in the anti-virus software that is provided free of charge from my internet service provider! Once I removed that software, the problems went away. I did have to install another anti-virus software program.
I am no expert in infectious disease. Still, it seems odd that as soon as the virus left my computer, I came down with a fever, cough and congestion! Could it be that a computer virus can be transmitted to a human?
Now that my computer is functioning properly, I will get back to posting a new blog on a daily basis.
