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!

As an IT guy he should've known that the backed up files were still infected. He should be fired post haste.

Ydi for working for such a bad company that they hired this noob. Oh, and for getting the virus in the first place.

Depending on the type of malware, it can be very easy to get rid of, or really hard. I have worked on many comps with different malware and so far have not had to do a reinstall. I have about 10-15 programs that deal with malware removal that I use depending on what kind it is + a live cd. Reinstalls should be a last resort.

Get the downloadable program Malwarebytes, problem solved!

Not a chance. You wouldn't believe the number of virus rebuilds I have to do at work where the users have malwarebytes installed.

Time to get some heat for posting this but I agree. Would you drive a bus without a licence? Would you fly a plane without training? Jump in water without being able to swim? Viruses are 100% avoidable you just need to be able to use a computer efficiently. Yes I'm slightly biased as I'm a BSc MSc software engineer however simple steps can be taken not to get them in the first place. Don't click ridiculous links, don't download rubbish, don't surf questionable websites, don't accept files from random people and use good antivirus software. However the "tech guy" sounds like he took an online course and really only knows where the power button is.
