Totally Screwed
Yesterday I ended up with some toolbar slash parasites slash virus on my computer. Don’t ask me how. But it took me until 10:15 last night (in between getting Easter dinner ready and eating it) to get my computer cleared of everything, and I won’t tell you how many times I had to do everything.
One thing this virus thingy – whatever the hell was going on did, was that every time I’d run my fixer programs, it seemed to double the things, so that when I’d reboot there’d be twice as many, even though I had followed all instructions everywhere.
By the evening I had 300 and something parasites instead of the 30 or so I’d started off with in the morning.
Another thing that was going on was that it prevented all my parasite-virus-spy programs from loading at start-up. So none of them would run – I guess it stopped them in the first place which is how they got onto the system.
So right now that I got everything fixed and rebooted (I was afraid to do that in case they’d automatically appeared on the system again), I put the Ad Watch program back on – it was somehow corrupted.
Unfortunately for me, I blocked everything that popped up. So now none of my programs are loading. So I’ve got to see if I can get that off there, just so the programs will load.
The only reason I can get on the net is that it asked if I wanted to search the net for the appropriate program to load the links with and I said yes. Woohoo! I was at least able to get on the net.
So I guess I have more work to do. Work, work, work, it’s all I ever do. If that doesn’t work, guess who’ll be reformatting her damned computer again. What a waste that will be after spending so much time on getting the previously mentioned problems fixed.
I hate computers. Have I ever told you that?

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
i hate them too.
