Not Exactly a Fairy Tale (part 4 of 4)
This is the end of a four part story told in Blogger style -- from end to beginning. Though most of my blogging friends have somehow managed to miss the drama of my day -- or perhaps they each read about it and then shot out of here without leaving a comment in case catastrophe is contagious -- I am hopeful that all has been resolved. I'd like to thank Rob and a fellow who calls himself, Old Fart, for their help. They saved my sanity. I have antivirus/spyblocker software and a working browser. I have spent a good part of the afternoon rebuilding my favorites folder and I think I can say "the end" and close this tale on a happy note.

Glad to see you're back up and running.
These haikus are old, but they always makes me smile when technology misbehaves:
Seeing my great fault
Through darkening blue windows
I begin again
A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
Errors have occurred.
We won't tell you where or why.
Lazy programmers.
Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent, and reboot.
Order shall return.
Login incorrect.
Only perfect spellers may
enter this system.
This site has been moved.
We'd tell you where,
but then we'd have to delete you.
Serious error.
All shortcuts have disappeared.
Screen. Mind. Both are blank.
Sandy - -thanks for the laugh. i like the last one best, but for awhile today I was feeling more like the second to the last one .... deleted.
ahh sorry about your problems, I have never used that browser so I couldn't help :(
Glad you got everything worked out! This computer stuff sure is frustrating at times, huh?
Great comment, Sandy... I needed a laugh! :-)
Glad you got everything straightened out. But I'll need use your story as a cautionary tale. I have McAfee and just switched to Firefox.
Hi sorry I shot off without leaving a comment. Was very very sleepy and wondering how I was gonna make my very important corporate function later when all I wanted to do was crawl between sheets and snore.
However! That is no excuse.
(If it makes you feel better I was so sleepy on the road I banged into a lorry in front of me and shattered one headlight)
Am glad everything has worked out for you.
I read all four parts. I have firefox and have had it for a long time and never had any problem but then I use a difftent anti-virus tahn you do. It must really be horrible to lose all your favorites. That happenned to me when we cleaned my hard disk because we though I had a virus. It turened out to be a bad mouse and not a virus so we did it for nothing.
Computers can drive you nuts.
Wow, Quilly! When it rains on you it really pours! Glad to see you are back up and running, though.
