LOL
get an antivirus and get the latest update for your os from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
or you could do this:
haha, this screen appeared on my windows that said "time before shutdown: 60 seconds"
so i turned the windows clock 2 years backwards and now it says "time before shutdown: 729 days" :D:D
i just love windows :D |

or W32.Netsky.K@mm

or W32.Netsky.D@mm

Good to hear. Reformatting is such a royal pain in the ass. |

| sounds like a overheating problem, pour some water on the cpu, just make sure you use distilled water otherwise you might damage it. |

BLASTER WORM!!!! i got that a couple monthes ago. message popped up, saying i have 60 seconds to save my work before my computer shut down, then it restarted, it didnt shut down. then a couple minutes after ive logged in, the message would pop up again. i actually did a system recovery, had to save all my music, and lot of it i threw out. sometimes the message didnt pop up, so i had time to save a lot of stuff. 15 cd's of music (mp3's)over 200 hours, 4 cd's of saved progs and files, etc. after system recovery was finished, guess what. the message popped up again. i was pissed. but i went to microsoft.com, and they have a blaster worm patch, and blaster worm eraser, that takes it off your computer. those worked fine. so now im worm free.
those 3 new viruses ive recieved dozens of emails containing them. my email sends them to a spam folder. also, my norton anti-virus wouldnt even allow me to open them, only if i changed the properties of my norton protector. i love norton..
im getting a mac. how many viruses do u know target macs?? they are all for windows/.. |

Yes. Get Linux...if you don't want to run any software. Its almost as stable as Mac OS X, its just that few companies port their software to it. Get a Mac. |
