Mecury's retrograte effects start about 3 weeks before it actually goes retro. To add ambience to the effect, we are still being affected by Venus Retrograde in Gemini (rules by Mercury) as Mercury goes retrograde in Virgo, which it (also) rules.
Venus will be leaving Gemini soon, the retrograde extended its visit to the sign of the twins. Not only that, but lilith (dark moon lilith) has entered Cancer. Pallas has entered Leo. Vesta is retrograde in late Pisces, eventually it will enter Aries. An Mars is ready to enter Virgo, this combination of transiting bodies will generate change favored by the mercury retrograde.
In the rush to completion though, some background processes may stop responding, or get lost all together only to pop up later with unexpected consequences. The moon is the seondary ruler of Virgo, and along with Mercury, will favor change during this Virgo Initiated retrograde of the planet of communciation.
In regards to computers.
The virus situation is getting bad out there, I advise getting more than one update and make sure that you do not have anything set to auto update, a virus can sneak through if your not careful. Also, you may want to have more than one antivirus or malware search and destroy program. The sneaker the program, the more likely it is to try and trick you (like saying that the anti virus definitions have been uploaded but really they haven't becasue the infection doesn't allow it.)
