hijacked by a worm

a worm hijacked my computer! the nasty creature took over my browsers and had a hey day redirecting my searches. he was very good at his deception because he made some things work while others did not. just enough truth was kept to keep me unaware of the full extent of his hold upon me. (sounds like someone else i know) i thought it was a problem with my server. the damn computer repair guy - yes that's the name of his company, was able to clean some things off my computer and speed it up a bit but didn't find any viruses. after all of his efforts i was still having browser redirect issues and well most tragically i was unable to access anything google including blog post and comments! i felt alone and stranded and was resigned to just having to get serious and do my taxes. but a bit cautious of this because i wasn't quite sure if the nasty worm was really do more damage than just web browser redirects and didn't want him to have all my tax data information. i tried running a number of anti virus program...he hid from them. and then last night, after most guest has had gone home from little libby lu's first birthday party, i begged my nephew nate to take a look. well to end a long week - he found the worm and fixed my computer. what a good boy he is! thanks nate. now i can blog to my hearts content. and even do my taxes in peace.

Wow! Good job Nate. You're even better than the "damn computer guy" (which by the way is a very hilarious name for such a business). And good job Libby for being such a great Aunt to Nate so he would be willing to help you out. :)
