It wasn't all in my head...
So. I bit the bullet (hey, even *I* have trouble keeping 340 files straight), and started organizing my unfinished fic files...
And found that I don't remember what half of them are.
So, had to open some. And discovered I no longer have notepad. Normally, not a problem, since I use Yikes for everything anyway. But when I opened a few files in Yikes... I discovered some of them contained binary that hadn't been there before--and were missing pieces of themselves.
My brain clicked into action, and I prodded the redoubtable Foe. Who suggested the possibility of a virus.
Well, when I got this computer, it came with McAfee virus scan.
Which, apparently, sucked a lot of ass.
I now have AVG, and it's killed 7 viruses for me. I'm a happy person.
Especially happy, since the files are now no longer corrupted. And I still have all the text in them.
So, repeat after me: McAfee sucks ass.
MCAFEE SUCKS ASS.
Thank you.
In other news, I should probably sleep soon.
