A Crazy Day

Okay, I've just spent roughly 12 hours trying to get a virus or a malware/spyware/adware thing removed from my computer.  I don't know what caused it or where I picked it up--heck, it might even have been from this site.  I hope not, though.  I really want new things for my Sims because--let's face it--after a while things start running together.  When I take my Sims downtown, I have to double-check to figure out which Sim is actually walking across the screen because, unfortunately, he or she happens to be wearing the same outfit as at least one or two other Sims.  At least this way I can get some variety going.  Same thing for the kids.  Although their faces and skin-tones may be different, some of their outfits are exactly alike because--among other things--I don't really like having the kids in dresses or suits from the early twentieth century.  They deserve to be in play clothes, free to run around, not worry about getting their clothes dirty (sorry, I was watching The Sound of Music while I waited for my virus scans to end).

Anyway, wherever the virus/whatever came from, it seems to be gone for now.  But I'm going to have to be a lot more careful now.  What a pain.  It could be worse, though:  it could have completely crashed my system, so I'll consider myself lucky for now.
