Trough means of user invisible backdoors, a virus disguised as an improvement, transmitted itself to my computers and during the period of roughly a year, automatically all by itself without any user even touching it made more than a dozen of them unexpectedly as usable as a brick (they don't even boot up anymore) while offering a catalogue of interminable unfixable catastrophic errors.
On the remaining barely functional ones, the virus is every single day eating gigabytes of memory for breakfast and dozens of gigabytes after gigabytes of hard drive space for lunch non stop and what my computers used to do in 10 minutes is now taking a quarter of hour or more.
I first got suspicious when I saw useless 30 year old features poping up being advertised as "new features" while some established foundational features vanished into smoke... which made me thing something was not right... but it only got confirmed further more when my programs stopped opening/working and to make even most menial tasks, the operators now have to jump through even more hoops and make even bigger juggling acts just to keep the machines afloat.
It is obvious the computers are internally fighting to be able to simply remain turned on, because on some of the most infected computers they have to be restarted once a minute while the normally infected ones only stall/crash or simply cut power during mid-functioning twice a day only, leading to irreversible corruption and loss of vital information that in many cases cost years of work.
After a quick investigation it jumped into clarity the infernal costs and devastation that the writer of this recent outbreak of "Windows 10" virus accomplished in less than a year is far greater than the devastation caused by any writer of top viruses such as "I love you" or "Salinity".
This situation has left me looking directly at the costs of putting back any kind of operating system that actually does operate, like Windows XP or Ubuntu.
