I'm sure you've probably noticed my lack of activity again. This time it's due to a crapload of viruses and malware that found its way onto my PC. Not sure what it was really, probably a combination of rootkits and a browser hijacking. After trying to fix it for a couple days, I gave up and formatted everything, after backing up all my critical files of course. I didn't lose much of anything really, but I need to get it all back onto my computer, and that is going to be a pain.

Expect delays as I get my computer up and running again.

Quit browsing for porn too much <87. Use Kaspersky Internet Security if you can, its the best I've used so far.

Well guess anti-virus is programmed to fight each other huh?


Or get another non-work computer and use that as a 'front-line scanner' when inspecting USB's and such...also used for browsing..........
