Final advice: There is good in almost anything.
Use this turmoil and trouble to upgrade to the newest versions - not only vb but also your OS, the vb addons - everything
Believe me, it is no fun at all to backup almost 1gb per day - everyday - to have a plan b: a backup at least. Furthermore it is really time consuming to read daily through the vb addon section just to be up to date to the newest security issues.
I learned it the hard way and this is usually the best way. Don't let this chance to learn something from your troubles pass by. Being hax0red is one thing, learning and getting the point a different one.
Doing backups every day is like shaving at least every thrird day: it has to be done otherwise you look dumb.
