Oh my goodness! What happen to my computer? Is that crashed? Because except XP Antivirus 2014, no other program works, I could not turn on word, all my explorers are out of run, my PC is totally useless. And what’s worse, whatever I try to open any program, it only gets me a pop-up window which tells me the program is infected. I mean seriously? This computer, it was fine yesterday, but now it becomes a useless machine? Yeah right, I have been used this PC for 7 or 8 years already, I got to admit it acts not so good as the year goes by. However I just randomly use it for working or reading some email and news, pardon me for my old school thought, I’m just an old man, I’m reminiscent, so I treat it as an old friend, I will not forsake my body until it is “dead”. Beside I get used to use XP OS since the first day I have my own computer, unless XP OS is out of market，otherwise I will not use any other OS. But for now though, it seems the rainy day is coming, my old friend is out of use. I am not sure if it is the matter of XP Antivirus 2014 or not. Actually, I have my own Antivirus program, I used it for a while and it never told me anything wrong before, and it is coincidence I download XP Antivirus 2014, I just thought it might be authoritative from its name, right now it asks me to buy its full version program so I could use my PC again. What should I do now?
