M.I.A.

Wow.....I have been a bad blogger! (don't nod your head JoAnn!)

I have had a series of computer related issues over the past few

weeks & didn't realize just how much I rely on it, until it was gone!

There is a fake virus alert that pops up on your screen that looks

as if your virus protection has detected an issue. It asks you to

click on the box to remove this issue and when you do, it acutally

loads the virus on your computer. My daughter did this TWICE!

I was panicked to say the least...my internet wouldn't stay open,

my other programs would not open at all..... I was able to locate

the virus on my C drive, but it would not allow me to delete it.

I did have Norton 360, but this virus bypassed it!

Finally, I was able to go to Microsoft.com & searched security essentials.

I then ran a PC Safety Scan on the computer & it cleaned my drive &

allowed me to delete the virus folder & contents....WHEW!

Anywhoo - go to Microsoft now and run a PC Safety Scan NOW!

I also had a Shoot and Shop with a local Photography group I belong to,

called the XStop Project. We had four backdrops & each of us were

assigned to a model to work with. It gave us all an opportunity to

watch one another in action & learn lighting techniques.

This was the little cutie I had to work with:
