getting a computer virus.

I do my work on my laptop and it got a virus Wednsday. I am so unhappy. If I don't buy the program to fix the virus I may lose everything. I think it is kind of mean for someone to do that to people just to sell their product. "Internet Security 2010" Don't do it. Hopefully the IT person at my husbands work can save my files and clean out the virus. I feel lost with out using my computer, it's weird huh. I really don't want to have to replace it everything is on there, I had planned to back up things and just hadn't got around to it yet. I've learned something now.
