annoyed

1. i got a virus in my thumb drive
2. i plugged it into lappy
3. i did stuff with files on thumb drive
4. i plugged my hard drive into lappy
5. i did stuff with hard drive and thumb drive
6. i removed both and plugged them into dad's desktop comp
7. dad's comp detects virus in all removable media
8. i google the name of the virus
9. i find out that it's a high risk trojan that records keypress
10. i realised that i did some internet banking transactions
11. i go around trying all the virus scanners & adware scanners available
12. i still can't find and get rid of the root of the virus
13. i go fishing in all my stuff for the recovery discs and drivers and end up digging up all the 'things to bring to london' and dumping them in suitcase (note: room looks like a tornado hit)
14. i run through files and back stuff up on my poor infected hard drive praying that the desktop can keep it clean later on
15. i run the recovery disc and install drivers
16. one of the drivers cannot be installed
17. i attempt to download driver and transfer with thumb drive.. it doesn't work
18. i install the virus protectors and go online to get the driver
19. i get the driver and have to re-install a list of things that can only be installed properly with that driver already present
20. i begin moving files back and installing all the programs again

it has been 10 hours and counting. ouch.
but hey. thank God i didn't lose any data, haven't encountered any bank fraud... and i'm still in sg where i can go buy new stuff =P
