Bug in the system and a surprise from an old friend

Curse the twit who put it there...my poor treasured home pc got infected by a trojan and a worm!!! It happened last weekend while I was trying to view something and the dumb anti-virus software I had didn't block it.

Been trying the last few evenings to de-trojan and de-worm but nothing seemed to work so I went to the extreme...I backed everything up and then wiped everything clean and implemented "Operation Recovery" in other words I put in the recovery disk and made my pc revert to how it was when it left the factory. Did that this morning, of course the next thing that was installed was the drivers for my cable modem so that I could download a better anti-virus software and some other free softwares. Logged on to my yahoo messenger and there was a message waiting from me from an old friend....JOSHUA BARNETT!!!

The message was 3 days old and he said he was in Singapore. Told me what hotel he was staying in but sadly by the time I called the hotel he had already checked out!!! In fact he checked out this morning. I'm really surprised to hear from him cos I haven't spoken/chatted with him for a while. I think the last time I heard from him was just before he and his wife were heading back to the US for new duty assignments. He was being assigned shore duty and she was getting sea duty, and both were based in Virginia. I guess that must of been 2 years ago cos he must be on sea duty again - each duty session is for about 2 years but sometimes you get them back to back. It would of been nice to catch up with him to find out what he was doing here but I guess we really weren't meant to meet. I left him a message on Yahoo and sent him an email explaining why I didn't respond. Will let you know if I hear from him, though I get the feeling I may not.

Well I'm gonna go watch the tv now and then probably head to bed early given that I woke up at like 8.30 am this morning!!! It's all my boss' fault cos he made me go into the office at 8.30 am yesterday which meant I had to wake up at like 6.45 am so I was so tired and went to bed early last night hahaha
