easy wood projects
So the reason I havent posted in a few days is because my laptop blew up
. it may or may not have been my fault
ehem so a couple months back (2 I think) I bought a used laptop from Easy Home (a furniture rental place) it cost me $80.00 Great Deal!! anyway, the laptop had easy home as the admin for its system, so I set about toying with the settings and in no time flat had figured out how to delete easy home and make myself the admin.
I also loaded my own favourite programs such as Win Amp, Open Office , and AVG , all was well in my little world
. then about a week ago my lap top started randomly shutting down (pretty much anytime it tried to auto update to Windows 8.1 ) so I turned off the auto updates and cleaned up the hard drive
.once again all was well in my little world.
Then Saturday while I was surfing the web things started to get funky
. first my firewall kept saying that my device was compromised
it wasnt , no virus had found its way onto my laptop, it was a trusted website, kinda startled me as I did not know the laptop could talk!! Imagine my surprise when the damn thing started talking to me
. kinda freaked me out some.
So I went off line, ran a virus scan, (no threats were found) , so I figured Ill restart the laptop and that should reset the hard drive and fix what ever hiccup it had
.. just before the start screen a message appeared saying that this device may have been stolen and that you may be in possession of stolen property, the authorities have been notified and I had 48 hours to contact easy home or I would be named in the lawsuit
WTF!!
