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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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?

I think it's your IT guy that needs to be wiped.

Shouldn't have been running Windows 98 still. Damn corporations and their refusal to upgrade.

As a IT myself, it doesn't make sense they would do that. Usually you root out the virus -before- you back up. Assuming it's not latched to a system file. A couple good programs that I use (That offices do not normally pay for, but have free versions) Are: Malwarebytes, spybot and a few others. Spybot isn't good if the guy isn't sure what he's doing because it can delete system files. Hopefully, your virus free soon. It's a pain and a security risk.

I'm opting for ydi. There are plenty of antivirus programs to prevent this and removing one is extremely simple with a decent program. While your IT guy messed up he still did more than you're capable of.
