I was called by my uncle on the way home from work tonight, he was having computer troubles. He has a bad history of being plagued by virii, however this time it was something different. Windows (both normal, and safe mode) would just shut his computer down, no warning, about three seconds after he logged in.
Safe mode with command prompt was uneffected, so I manually ran Norton, which showed some Adware, but nothing too shocking. Still didn’t matter. So I had to call in a friend of mine to determine what the application name was for System Restore. I’ll be damned if that didn’t work like a charm. I have no idea what it’s doing, but that thing can fix the ass out of a Windows machine.
My uncle insisted on paying me $20 for my quick response and missing Karate, which was quite unusual for him. Now it’s onward to wage war against the bug that is plaguing my MythTV.
