Something unusual that happened today

Something really terrible happened today. For some reason, my computer got attacked by the Trojan Horse virus. The anti-virus my computer had turned out to be a fake, and we could not access the computer. I was worried, as I needed the computer to do some ongoing projects, and the school blog. I really wanted the virus to go away, and never come back.

My father unplugged the CPU of the computer and put it in his car. He wanted to get help with the computer, so he went to a computer shop. He drove off. Now, the computer cannot be used.

After a few hours, he came back with the CPU. He plugged it in, and he asked me to help. I was told to create Users for my brothers, and myself, install softwares, and most importantly, a new Antivirus. We got Avast! and I think it is pretty good. I hope it is not a joke like the old one we had. I am not telling you the name of the virus because I don't want to be sued online.

I turned on the computer and to my surprise, every single file had been deleted. All my music, pictures, videos and games had disappeared. I was really disappointed, but there was nothing I could do to retrieve them. I downloaded my favourite Internet Browser, Google Chrome. I had been using the computer until now.

In the future, I must make sure I check the files before I download them because it could contain a virus. I hope people will not repeat my mistake as it is really troublesome for people. If only viruses were not invented...
