Towards the end of last month I headed out for a couple of mornings, shooting from the car again. They were successful outings with some nice shots and another couple of lifers.
You can imagine my frustration when I had finished editing them to have my computer become disabled by a virus. It is not as if I was unprotected – firewall, realtime spyware protection, Microsoft security essentials, windows defender, malware removal all in place and running. The first I was aware was when all my security started displaying alerts, then icons started disappearing from my desktop and program list. Eventually I was left with an empty desktop and an empty c: drive. It has taken since the 24th November to put things right. I have everything backed up, except for the last 2 outings… so I thought I had lost those images. Now I have them back again and I am finally able to post them.
