    Bah, humbug!

    Just arrived at my parents' house a couple of hours ago.

    Within 10 minutes they happen to mention that their computer has "not been working right" for the last few days.

    So I find that the registry has been corrupted and the computer is riddled with malware.



    I wanted to be down the pub by now and instead I am here trying to sort out computer problems.

    I've got that coming tomorrow.

    I really wanted to escape this Christmas, but I've been guilted into seeing family tomorrow and yes there's a computer for me to fix.
    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        The next job will be to explain to them how the virus probably got there, and the sort of things my dad should not be clicking on in future.

        That is going to be fun.
