I know you are kind of hesitant to move to Ubuntu due to familiarity, and I don't want to get all preacher on you, but it's always good to get exposed to the tools and make the decision for yourself. With Ubuntu, it is highly unlikely you will ever have to worry about a virus again.

Ubuntu and Windows are both very different yet very similar worlds. Safe Mode is just an extra only-if-necessary technique. It's good practice to always have a copy of the programs on a flash drive, just in case the virus prevents you from downloading antivirus programs.Įven if the programs are on the local drive and not a flash drive, you will still be able to run them whether you are in safe mode or not.

You should be able to download and run SuperAntiSpyware while infected, but a lot of viruses block the MalwareBytes program from running (very sneaky).If you run SUPER first, then it should remove enough of the virus to allow MalwareBytes to install. They don't offer realtime scanning like Avast (great program), AVG, or Norton (BOOOO!!) but they are great to have on hand if you sense the presence of nasty malware.

If we ever cross paths I'll hook you up with all sorts of PC goodies :) I also have a program I'm looking into that would be like I am sitting right next to you and be able to offer help desk-like support. I sent you an email with my contact info this morning, so if you ever need anything, you can call me any time. It may be that I'm hopelessly hooked on computers, but I know I feel pretty detached without my PC. Hey Sonja :) Welcome back to the digital world once again. For these reasons (among others), storing your electronics inside a vehicle just puts them at a higher risk of mechanical failure. According to wikipedia, solid state drives are "less fragile, silent, have faster start-up, have lower power consumption, have high mechanical reliability, and they have the ability to endure extreme shock, high altitude, vibration, and extremes of temperature." This is especially important to think about if you travel alot, because things inside your vehicle can go from being really hot to really cold, and they can also be exposed to all sorts of different elevations and vibrations. That little tidbit was serious music to my ears and what ultimately won me over. They don't have any moving parts, making them much more reliable than regular portable hard-drives. That is why I eventually "converted" to "Solid-State" portable external hard-drives. At the time, I had to pay someone to try and salvage whatever files they could off of them, and I lost many of my files in the process. I had two of them crash on me for no reason, and one was a Western Digital, which is supposedly an excellent brand.

I bought them a while back after honestly having terrible luck with regular portable external hard-drives. When it comes to backing up all my files, I've got two Cavalry Pelican Solid State external hard-drives (a 128 GB and a 64 GB), and they both work excellent.
