Intuition proves out!
Jul. 17th, 2010 04:20 pmJust got an email from Yahoo concerning Yahoo Messenger and that virus that destroyed my other computer. I haven't reinstalled it because I wasn't sure if my account/files/whatever might still be 'dangerous' - turns out I was right. The tech person said there was no guarantee that I couldn't infect my new machine by reinstalling YIM - so he suggested using "Yahoo Messenger on the Web" - not as many bells and whistles but I can chat with people just the same as with YIM. Which suits me just fine. So I'll be signing up for that instead.
Just goes to show - sometimes being dumb about techno stuff leads one down the right path anyway. :D
