We had a long day Monday. I taught for five hours at Puerto Rico Baptist College and was about to head home when I got involved in another project. Some viruses infected our college computers. A few had what we call " Web page Hijackers." Our Bible college computers were taking our students to casino gambling sites! Something had to be done!
My new assistant (Irving, from Barcelona, Spain) and I had already downloaded a couple of free virus eliminators before, but our machines kept getting re-infected. I finally figured out what was happening. The computers have "restore points" that we use to reset the machines every once in a while. I realized Saturday that some older viruses were hiding among the protected restore point programs and would infect us again each time we restored a past configuration. We have to open up the restore points and unprotect what we did in the past to get the viruses fully eliminated. There probably is a spiritual application in this for high tech types*.
I got home at 10PM tired, but I feel better now that our students can work without being misdirected by evil programs.
It is not enough to eliminate the negative. We have to replace it with something positive and powerful. I have found it helpful to set this site "Our Daily Bread" (http://www.rbc.org/odb/odb.shtml) as my homepage. Try it!
* What you don't fully clear up in the past can come back and hurt you again when you least expect it!
