Ugh.

Makes me so mad.

The only real fix for this is to keep very little important information on your computer and its hard drive.

The important stuff needs a home on a Disc or flash drive memory.

Then the computer gets a wipe and reset, perhaps defrag the hard drive to boot.

Then the good stuff can be reloaded as needed, but what a hassle.

If I was depending on my computer for business , I could have been out of business for the time it took .

Where do these hackers get such a right?
