I'm back online (Or: Curing a virus)


I'm so glad to be back online.

Here's the situation: I was visiting MySpace on Saturday and looking at various friend requests. A lot of these requests are advertisements for free ringtones or porn. Anyway, I clicked on one listing to see if they were real or spam, and I ended up getting a virus on the computer. I downloaded an anti-virus program and also the spyware remover that they suggested, and it really fucked up my computer.

There was no way for me to get online unless I went to the library, and that wasn't really all that pleasant. From the time that the computer repairman picked up the computer on Sunday up until today, it was like I was back in the days of the mid-90s, before I went online.

Either way, it's good to be back online. I have a lot of stuff to catch up on, but I think that I'll be okay.

Sincerely,

John Kilduff...

And I also fixed a typo in my sig that was pointed out in the thread on "The Pursuit Of D.B Cooper".

I often suspect that it's evil computer repair people that are the ones putting that stuff out there.
