Just a quick post to apologise for the lack of posts recently and an explanation for the reasons behind this.

Like so many others last Saturday, I was the victim of a very strange incident involving my virus checker.

Basically, anybody using BitDefender or any anti-virus program that used the BitDefender anti-virus definitions (I was using BullGuard) found their computers self-destructing as a poorly programmed update began moving perfectly legitimate files to quarantine. This meant that critical Windows system files were moved so that in the end, all I was left with was a black screen.

After a couple of days of messing around trying to get it back to normal, I decided it was dead and took it to someone to format the hard-drive and re-install Windows for me.

This was all done and sorted by Wednesday however, the backlog of work caused by not having a computer for the best part of five days added to the fact that I had to re-install everything onto the computer, configure email accounts etc etc meant that time has been very limited this week.

However, I am pleased to report that everything is now back to normal and normal service will resume today when I do my pre-match analysis of the Bolton game.

What this has to do with Manchester United and football, I don’t know but if it means that just one person does not give any money to the idiots at BullGuard (who were wholly unhelpful despite breaking my computer) then that will be good.
