Day Off, Still Had To Work

Took a day off on Sunday. Didn't post. I thought I'd rest. I didn't rest much. And, I've had better days.

I got up at 6 AM in order to fix a roast for Sunday lunch. That went off without a hitch. I started to do some work on the computer. That's when I discovered it had been infected by a Trojan Horse. The Trojan Horse was Trojan Horse Agent.MQO. Before I started on the Trojan Horse, I put some biscuits in the oven and then started work on the computer. I researched on the internet and found a great site that gave good advice. The info was on mudcat.org. The thread that contained the info I needed was about 2/3 of the way down the page. The first post about this particular Trojan Horse was dated Jan. 11, 2008, so apparently it is a new one. I read the advice and started the procedure. katlaughing on mudcat.org said she got the Agent.MQO on her computer and that she felt like it now had a "social disease". There went the better part of the morning and the early afternoon.

By this time I forgot the biscuits. Fortunately I remembered them before it was too late. They were extremely well done. A couple of shades shy of burnt to be precise. I was able to make do with the biscuits. I was also able to save the computer from the Trojan Horse. YEA!! No more "social disease".

Then came a few errands. And finally, back home by 3:30 for the Dallas Cowboys playoff game. The errands went off without a hitch. The game was another story. Looks like the road to Glendale will be passing through Green Bay and not Dallas (Irving really, soon to be Arlington).

All things considered, the roast was great. The rest I could have done without.
