Computer Virus Hell

My main computer caught a virus, and I've been trying for two days to deal with that. I'm still working on it though there's progress for which I'm very thankful.

This started when I discovered a hacker from Russia (!) was using space on my writing site's server for nefarious activities. In the process of dealing with that I looked at one of the files. Big mistake, because it infected my computer.

The worst part of all this is that so much of my time was wasted. I use my computer for what I consider important stuff, so two days focused on virus removal seems excessive. And it isn't over yet.

Computer Monitor Repair Needed

Today my daughter's monitor stopped working. It seems to have a bad switch because when she plugs it in it just keeps making a loud clicking sound, and the little green light goes on and off. I've never repaired a monitor before.

What should I do? Leave me a message if you know the answer. Meanwhile she's using her brother's monitor which he doesn't mind too much as he hasn't used it in months.
