Oh Dear

I am currently experiencing major techo-trauma.

My beautiful pink Sony Vaio laptop, Sonya, is very sick. It would appear that she has a nasty virus. Said virus hacked into my website and added some nasty code to every page that made my site dirty and scary to anti virus software. A few people emailed me telling me they were getting pop-ups and warning bars when they visited my website. After a couple of days of speaking with my hosting company they tracked down the malicious code and yesterday I removed it from every page of my site making Beads By Laura clean, shiny and user-friendly again. So that's a good thing.

But .....

I decided to format Sonya to make sure that any virus she had was obliterated. After that I ran my anti virus and it found a horrid evil Trojan so at 1am this morning I was trying to put things right. This morning everything appeared to be well but when I tried to install Windows service pack three (I'm still on XP - I don't like Vista!) it didn't want to play ball. I'm having another go (this makes attempt number five) and I shall see what happens.

Problem is, my desktop PC broke about four weeks ago so my only computer is Sonya. I hope I can make her better. Without a computer I'm in trouble.

So this post is to tell you that I'm unable to update the website at the moment. The Strawberry Ice Cream beads are sold. The Vanilla ones are currently available. If you'd like them, please email me or leave me a comment.

I'll be back later to tell you how Sonya's doing. Please keep your fingers crossed for her.
