Do you remember the good old days when you feared a virus for what it might do to you and not your computer. Remember the days of yore in which a defrag meant that you were trying to protect your sergeant or how a Trojan Horse was related to mythology.
I don't know about you but at some point in time things changed for me and I began to rely upon the computer as more than just a word processor/fancy calculator and it became a way to communicate, pay bills and so much more.
The problem is that I have become far too reliant on the computer and I am not nearly as proficient at repairing it as I would like to be. Fortunately my computer is running now, but not at optimal performance which is why I purchased some software to cure some of those ills.
However, the installation of the cure is not going so well. For that matter it is not working at all and I am not quite clear as to why. I have a few ideas but I think that I am going to test them out tomorrow.

Computers can be frustrating. Or more precisely: crappy windows. I once became so frustrated with windows blocking, stalling and freezing that i grabbed a sledge hammer and trashed. Unfortunately also all kind of important work data was on it. But fortunately i could recover it from the harddrive.
Since then i've been reading books about Unix command lines and operating systems to become less dependent of that monstrous microsoft.
Zeruel,
I have thought about going down that path but I really don't have a strong enough interest in learning Unix or Linux.
I am completely dependent on my computer(s) for all the things you mention and more. Suddenly the reality of that frightens me a bit. Thanks a lot Jack!
:)
My pleasure. ;)
