about a month ago now my computer started running really really slow. At first I really didn't think anything of it but then it kept getting worse so I finally did a virus scan and found out that it was infected after all. Seeing how I am not very computer literate when it comes to anything other than the internet and Microsoft Office I had no idea what to do. Luckily I do go to one of the nerdiest schools you can possibly imagine and have friends that like to fix computers for fun! (YAY for overly nerdy people!) So I thought it was fixed because it was working over at the Sig Ep house low and behold though when I get it home it stops working on me again! I did another virus scan just for the heck of it and it said that I had over 130 viruses within 10 minutes!!! So, a few days later I bring it back up to the Sig Ep house to have the boys look at it again and it was working fine once again! I finally got sick of trying to fix it so I ended up re-formating the entire thing wiping it clean. Now it's fast and happy again! more problems though;
1.) The wireless no longer works at my house, I can bring it to campus however and the wireless works just fine. just not in my own home, weird?
2.) The mouse is now set up so that if I tap it twice it is the same thing as double clicking the button and I have no idea how to shut it off, still after trying for half an hour!
3.) The scrolly thing on the mouse pad also no longer scrolls for me, no idea how to change that either.
4.) When trying to use the scroll bar on pages it goes really really REALLY slow, don't know whats the deal with that either.
5.) This I have found out as I am typing this, the courser keeps jumping up lines, don't know if I'm stupid or whats the deal with that.
I'm sure they're more things with my computer that I haven't found yet, but just from the list above I think its clear that I am computer illiterate and my computer officially hates me.
P.S. if you know how to fix any of these problems it would be greatly appreciated if you told me!

I am not good with computers either. Papa is great. Wish were were going to Golda's for Thanksgiving maybe he could have helped you. Mind was doing dumb things this morning too. Papa fixed too. Your mom is good too. How is school going? Love you
Good thing you're in Tennessee this week! I happen to know a really good computer nerd there... He's going to hate us someday.
Is the computer fixed or did you get a new one....the easiest but costliest fix!
