I Don't F***ing Believe This

AVG AT, AVG... or failing that, Avast. But AVG first.

I expect backup CDs to fail. CD-Rs are a fickle medium, prone to failure after 2-5 years, depending on brand and environmental conditions. Its best to replace backup CDs once a year or so... Of course, even better is a backup USB hard drive (really an IDE drive placed into a $20 (check deal listing sites periodically) aluminum enclosure since "external" drives are ridiculously overpriced) that is only on when you copy backups to it, then you put it in static shielding for storage.

That was way too many nested remarks... oh well.

The PC can now read a few of the back up disks. The most important one it has allowed me to copy files from to the desk top but has not allowed me to access other files such as my SEIV back ups.

Here is how to access them at this link .

Personally I wouldn't reccomend AVG, it lets too many things slip through. A few years ago I used to use AVG, I suspected that I had a virus and ran a full scan, which came up completely clean. I still suspected I had a virus and did the online scan from TrendMicro. My 'clean' system turned out to be dirtier than I thought, I had about 6-10 different infections that AVG didn't even see. For anti-virus I always reccomend norton, ONLY for anti-virus though. I don't allow any other norton software on my system.
