Bad news for me

[CheeseDragon]

My computer had a virus and it wouldn't let me use any anti-virus softwares. I took it to PC world and said that they had to delete all the files and completely restart the comp. I was a bit shocked of them deleting all my files but after that they said they could back-up all my files. I had no computer for 2 days, but finally, They phoned me up and said it was ready. All my files were in a Backup files folder but the only problem is, All of my downloaded games wouldn't work. There was only the shortcuts, not those folder like for BL it was "C:\Blockland\". It wasn't there D:. now I had to redownload a couple of stuff including Blockland. But all my add-ons were gone nuuuuu. Now I have to redownload ALL my add-ons and I had some epic lost add-ons that aren't available any more. I'm pooped.

Mine got too old and died, so i went two months without it, and finally after 2 more days i could re-download blockland, but we didnt have a backup file :(

So, everyone, back up your files frequently , who knows when you'll have to fall back on it.

[Jay the Cartoonist]

unless you lost save files or something it's really not a big deal, chances are the "lost add ons" were no good anyhow

[Kevdude]

I have around a 750MB add-on folder and do not feel like backing up. I have my Key written down on a piece of paper though

I had a few save files that i never wanted to lose, I thought they would backup all the files (as they said) but they lied. I'm going to send evil bunnys that eat people brains to a PC world staff meeting.

Any add-on can just be recreated.

i would be upset about losing saves.
but addons, so what? re-download them.

there shouldn't even be more then a dozen must have ones for you anyways, you were likely one of those people with to many addons.

[Kalphiter]

I laugh at how they had to clear the entire drive in order to remove it.
Idiots.

[Nethog]

Same here my laptop broke. But my dad put all my addons somewhere or did something with them and when they fixed it he got them all back on. =D

I stopped relying on AV and reformatting because every virus I ever came across got through any AV I had and I found out how easy they are to get rid of without.

[Bisjac]

its good to reformat every 6 months anyways.
its alot to reinstall, with my must have programs and games.
but its a clean feeling you just cant upkeep day to day.

...it wouldn't let me use any anti-virus softwares...

It probably blacklisted the most popular ones. D:

[ID9962]

Get AVG, Avast!, Nod32, and common sense, then suddenly your computer doesn't ever fail or suck; that and uninstalling programs you haven't used in 4,6,or 8 months is a good idea.

[Makingblah]

I reformat every year, keeping only my music and my Files folder, which I stuff things into now and again.
I also don't have antivirus software and never will.
You only get viruses if you are stupid.
