relievedHurrah! Back online after the virus disaster and a day of T3 Skynet jokes at my expense.
24 hours without internet access is far too much for me. I have a problem.
This all serves me right for uninstalling that Firewall (well it was taking over the entire machine).
Stupid me.
It's been a big pain in the arse requiring a 20-mile round trip to my parents to get the fix. I haven't lost any data though, so that's OK.
