Reinstall the notebook today
These days my notebook always report unknown errors and cause some program to abort. My notebook haven't be reinstalled for two years. Few months ago, some rascal softwares became resident in my computer, like IE-BAR, etc. It's very hard to remove then, so a fresh re-installation become the easiest way.
It took me one hour to backup all the required files to another windows server, and then ask IT engineers to reinstall my computer, took another hour, finally took a third hour to copy the files back, and some other time to reinstall some software, like Putty, Miranda IM, MSN Messenger, Skype.
After reinstall, the notebook run faster than before. I will be very carefully to reject rascal softwares. Actually I am not so sure how to prevent them, do you have some good ideas or practices? Can you share with me?
Few days ago, I lost 4 months of blog entries on AnySQL.net. I just lost blog entries, no others are lost, have no impact to my jobs. But we should be really careful.
Two years ago (2004.08.15), I joined current company as an Oracle DBA.
