There are some serious issues here about giving the user control and knowledge of the process. Automating backups is appealing, but it ties up the CPU, RAM and hard disc space. Lenovo's Rescue and Recovery program, which comes with the Thinkpad, has some useful features but can also be aggravating. I will discuss Lenovo's "Rescue and Recovery" which I used and Memeo Backup and AutoSync.

This post is about the backup that I attempted once everything was working well again. If I find the time, I'll blog about that separately (the bottom line is that Malwarebytes, run in safe mode, is what finally worked).

I recently had an adventure with a computer virus (Virtumonde/ Vundo!).
