My Laptop Crashed!

[ronto]

I received an email from my daughter with an attachment. She never had attachments to her emails in the past but I didn't think much about it at the time. I clicked on it and it wiped out the operating system resulting in the loss of everything on my laptop. I called her on the phone and she said her email account was hacked and every one of her contacts received the same email. Lesson I learned the hard way...NEVER CLICK ON ATTACHMENTS EVEN IF IT'S FROM SOMEONE YOU KNOW!

To this day, I still enjoy a 100% success rate on FULL recovery and restore from this. My clients love this service. You got a nasty one.

I called Dell customer service and they sent me a recovery disc to restore the operating system at no charge. It's like starting from square one but at least it's up and running again although I lost everything that was saved. Dell customer service is located off-shore but they have the BEST customer service I have ever experienced.

Did you have a back up of everything that was lost?
Either on a large flash drive or removable hard drive

OS crashes are a hassle BUT if everything backed up = no loss

I back up frequently for such an event
