Who knew switching from a relatively expensive anti-virus program, at the end of my subscription, to a better alternate program I received free from my university would:
Destroy one of my two 750 GB external hard drives, start to foul up the other and a third smaller drive; slow some processes related to protection and a few other applications to a snail’s pace (no, snails are faster - click and wait 45 to 60 minutes before proceeding); and that the solution(s) would be as bad or worse than the initial problems.
The month of tech support issues between three companies (yes I had to pay another $100 to a third party to try to settle the I/O conflicts caused by the other two and now that is not working either) has delayed my dissertation project pushing it to the limits of academic tolerance. My case will go before the review board in a couple of weeks and if I have not made the expected progress (which is key and due now in this week) despite the tech issues, I may be dropped -- "life happens" the director says, to "deal with it" (but how?). YOUR PRAYERS are my only answer. Please pray for me, the committee, and my computer and tech issues. Thanks.
Every one hates computer problems.
