it seems like what shall hereafter be referred to as The Night of Many Scans and Swears is finally over. all thanks to the wonderful, (sob) wonderful information found at Majorgeeks.com (see below). it is my site of the day. it is my site of all days to come, as long as that freakin' about:blank virus (or whatever) doesn't come back. as long as i am popup free, i am free and clear.
yes, it is almost worth having 3 hours of sleep just to realize that the computer is no longer sick.
i guess J was mentioning it at work today, (what with his computer-herpes-type guilt from being such a compulsive ad-clicker) and the lady he was talking to said:
"oh yes, i heard there's a virus going around from microsoft."
to which J replied:
"um... well, i think there are a couple of different viruses, and besides--"
to which the crazy lady replied:
"yes, what you need to do is go to microsoft and download some anti-virus software."
if only it had been that easy to clean out all the crap.
i do like the idea of microsoft actually personally infecting its users with viruses and then offering them the antidote, though. the conspiracy theory part of my brain is racing to latch on to that idea, while the more rational part of my brain tells me to go make lemonade and watch the simpsons.
