I'm happy to report that one of my grandsons was able to delete the virus and reset my laptop to an earlier date without the lost of Word documents or pictures and only the lost of one EXCEL file. That file will be reproduced from a saved hard copy.
Unfortunately I didn't ask him to save which set of bookmarks. I had bookmarks under Internet Explorer and another extensive newer set under Fire Fox. He chose to save the older ones under Internet Explorer.
No big deal for I can research the ones I wanted under Fire Fox. Most of them were photographic in content gleamed from you guys on UHH.
The important thing is that I have my laptop back. I have started using my external hard drive which I had already purchased prior to this virus thing but never got around to using.
My grandson also installed a better anti-virus program. I happily paid him handsomely for his service. He refused but I insisted.
Later I took him out to diner at an exclusive restaurant and got to hear him talk about his life, his concerns as a young man who is just about to turn 21 and his future plans. He talked. I listen and gave advice only when he asked for it.
He is also planning to update me technically. He only sees me as his grand dad, the man who helped him with his school work. He doesn't see me the Physics major, electronics engineer, Naval Flight Officer and mathematics teacher.
I smiled privately to myself. However, we can learned a lot from young folks. I'm looking forward to it.
He sells and repairs cell phones and cell phone plans for several carriers. He has been managing the store for over a year. He is self taught. His dad and I are very proud of him, especially as we observed his excellent customer service skills and hearing the glowing and positive comments from the store's owner.
Also thanks to all you UHH folks for your inputs about getting rid of that ransom virus.
