The only virus I\'ve ever had turned out to be a porn site exe file from god knows where, don\'t know who programmed it but they had a really dirty mind and a fetish for just about everything because it kept invading my screen with these images,.......they were.........

No,....................I can\'t,.......................too disturbing.

Samwise, my medical research shows that there is no cure for this mysterious Virus you spoke of. May God have mercy on your souls... I have been doomed since the beginning.

Thank you for warning us, shdk-whatever.

Depends. If you registered under the influence of alcohol, I suggest you to change the "I hit the keyboard with my head" username.

If it was your concious choice to register with a somewhat ridiculous username, you can do whatever the hell you want with it.

Unintentional lapse into a coma caused random keyboard bashing. Seems to be problematic though, you\'re only something like the 5th person to attempt to type it without using the \'quote\' button.

One more thing, shdk. To me, username plays a big part in the member\'s personality and appearance. I have certain mental images I instantly link with some usernames - Samwise is a bright example. When I see his username, I can not help but to be re-minded of boobs and Sean Astin. Don\'t ask why.

It is hard to link anything with your username and non-existant avatar. If you want to be original, create a name which is both meaningful and different. I have nothing against you - I just don\'t find your shdkfhwoeurhsdfsfhew -username appealing.

How do I change my username, can it be done by me or does a mod have to do it?

shdknfvfdlvvsl, pm ( private massage ) an administrator ( mm or SoulGrind ). Kindly ask either of them to change your member-name to the one you wish to use.

Ah, much better.  I always assumed you just hit the keyboard with your fist when you came up with that username.

THATS THE VIRUS I HAD!!!. Internet Explorer would still work but no programs would, and task manager would just close by itself after 2 seconds.

Norton 2002 PRO wouldn\'t work for me either, so I went to C:\\ right clicked and selected \'scan with norton\'. I had three viruses I detected, but it didn\'t fix the problem.

Mine was called c-cam or something, I took the comp to a friends house and he had to download a patch off the net.

Personally I dont even get your username and it doesnt seem to make sense, yet neither does mine at first glance.

Symantec seem to have an on-line virus check thingy, I couldn\'t take it through the steps as we use Norton - corporate edition.

http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/support_options.html

If that doesn\'t work they claim to have an update on their site, just do a search for \'c cam\'.
