I bought clipart from the stall in front of Matahari Kuta
Square. Virus checked it, loaded it then totally lost everything, couldn't even start in safe mode!!!
Haaris was very helpful but it was s....ed, nothing we could do!!
Had to reload the operating system when I got home. Luckily it was a new laptop I had just bought for my daughter as a suprise and was going to get it up to spec for her in Bali, away from prying eyes, so didn't lose anything, but a pain nontheless. I would have been very very upset if it had been my main laptop.
I will never take the risk again.
