I’m a bit stunned.
My computer had a thrombosis yesterday. It was tragic. One moment it was proudly displaying its wares the next minute it was doubled over in pain with one of its internal organs failing.
I hope the person who developed the virus that crippled my internal drive feels great about achieving his goal.
I hope the person who developed the virus that almost killed my computer feels great about me losing a bunch of writing that I was about to back up.
I hope the person who developed the virus that will cost me a bunch of time and money to fix feels at peace when he sits around the dinner table with his family knowing that he has stuck it to the man.
It’s sad how some people have to hurt others to make themselves feel better.

Call a tech place for help. I got a virus and a friend told me about some Windows feature -- this was on a PC, dunno if Macs have it -- that *automatically* takes a snapshot of your entire system & drive every so often. The command -- I forget its name or where it is, and because of its power I HIGHLY recommend having a tech friend walk you through it -- basically regresses your whole drive? or just your system files? to the date you specify. (It shows the several dates on which it backed it up. You pick one you KNOW is prior to the virus, it does it's magic and away you go.)
Good luck.
