Today, the new office IT guy figured the best way to get the virus off my computer was to wipe my entire hard drive. He was kind enough to back my data up and restore everything from the backups. Including the virus. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I finally finished my 500 page manuscript and so went out to buy some paper to print it off. I get back home and find out my dad has infected my computer with a virus and the only way to save it was to wipe the hard drive, which he did. That script took me a year and I have no backup. FML
Today, our computer system has irretrievably broken down due to viruses. My boss is the one who refused to get new antivirus software, but he’s still blaming me because I’m the computer guy and should be able to protect us from stupidly complicated viruses, "like the hackers in the movies." FML
Today, my computer crashed and lost all of its data while I was making a back up. FML
Today, I managed to infect a clean computer with a virus while looking up info on how to rid my other computer of the same virus. FML
Today, discovered that all the viruses I have gotten on my computer at work haven't been from anything I've done, but because my boss has secretly been using it after hours to download or watch porn so he wouldn't risk getting a virus on his own computer. I've lost 3 major projects due to this. FML
Today, my friend asked to borrow my new laptop to email his college professor. When he returned it, it had a virus on it, and I had to fish out two pubic hairs that were sticking out between the keys. FML
Today, my computer was hit by something bigger than a virus: a car. FML
Today, I realized that my virus protection program now has a virus. FML
Today, I lost two terabytes' worth of photos to a friend's incompetence. He said he could save me some money and fix my slow computer for free. He ended up wiping the hard drive, and along with it, my photography portfolio from the last five years. FML
Today, I went to the bathroom to take a piss. While washing my hands, I heard someone taking a large dump in one of the stalls. When he was finished, he left the bathroom without washing his hands. Turns out he was the IT guy I called to fix my computer. He sat down on my chair and used my keyboard. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

He probably felt really stupid after he restored it. But it was really dumb to not plug the hdd into a Linux box and try scanning for viruses before restoring the data.

Too bad the " IT" guy doesn't know how computers work. "I'm going to erase everything and put it back the way it was! where's my $200?"

It's not his fault. You are the idiot who got the virus in the first place. YDI

Free antiviruses (or a combination of them) can get most viruses off. Your IT guy is pretty dumb... FYL

Well shit. I'm shocked he didn't ask what you wanted to save. Quarantine the files. And then figure out which one is the malware. Before putting your stuff back on.
