Well I got one for real.For the past few days I havn\'t been able to sign in to the forums,or even read the forums as a guest for that matter.I figured I had been banned,although I couldn\'t imagine why.A quick run of my weekly virus scan this morning revealed I\'m an idiot.
Here\'s what happened.While I was at a friends house watching monday nights game my g/f was at home on the pc and d/l something called desktop kitty or something like that,([her]alot of people at work had it on their desktop)and it was in fact a virus.I don\'t know how many times I\'ve told her not to d/l anything with an .EXE extension.Or not to download anything with out running a virus scan on it first.Oh well it\'s not like I didn\'t make the same mistake when I first started using pc\'s.Except mine was the Emanuel.EXE,that was a bad one.
I figured out it was a virus when I couldn\'t play Half Life,or CS,or evenSimcity3000.Well I\'m not that computer savvy,everything I\'ve learned about pc\'s I\'ve learned on my own over the last two years,so something like this is a big problem for me.So I did the only thing I know to do.Completely uninstall everything on my pc and start over from scratch.It\'s been an all day process.I just finished installing all the basics,including my zonealarm,popup stopper,d/l accelerator,aim,and all my games.Next up is file planet for all my patches and CS.
Just thought I would share this with you all so you can revel in my pain and frustration.And now it\'s off to file planet to stand in line for a couple hours.
