I hate my life.

So, besides all the other crap that's happened to Red and I in the past few days, add one more to the list. Something has made its way into our NEW computer that my parents got us to help with Nadia's work/career, and now we can no longer seem to run Explorer. Not just Internet Explorer, either, but My Computer, Control Panel, and that shit are down, too. It'll act like it's about to open, and then close just as quickly.

Tried rebooting. Nothing.

Tried Norton Antivirus, fully updated. Nothing.

I'm stumped.

And if I ever find who is responsible for whatever did this, I will kill them. I will hunt them down, beat them within an inch of their life, and then make that last inch feel like 25 miles.

I will proceed to finish killing them, I will strip the flesh from their bones, tossing it on the barbeque, and have a great big cookout, with ice-cold glasses of their blood as refreshments. I'll add alcohol, to boot, why not? Who doesn't like getting a little drunk?

I'll pick my teeth with their bones, before giving those and whatever remains there are to my wife's pets, and we'll all eat well for a week.

THEN, as per all the Christian nutsacks that think D&D and Harry Potter teach real magic, I'll borrow someone's GM guide to find a way to resurrect them, and repeat the process, and hopefully find a way to destroy that heartless shell of a soul that mankind was cursed to deal with in the process.

Hate is a strong word, and not one I tend to use lightly with the exception of phrases like the opening of this entry. But I don't think that, if I had the opportunity to see people like this put on death row with say, Saddam, Osama, Dahmer, Hitler, etc., I don't think I'd be able to resist trying to rush these sons of bitches to the front of the line. This shit happens FAR too often for my liking, and I can't think of a SINGLE. GOOD. REASON. For it.

A blight on humanity I'd love to see purged, for sure.

I don't get to buy comics like I used to, I don't get to collect toys like I used to, I don't get to buy books, movies, or video games like I used to... my one real hobby now is the internet, my one way of escaping shit like evictions and unemployment(or now the opposite, a rough day at work), and then I have to deal with these shit-eating, cheese-fucking, ball-sniffing ass-hats, trying to ruin that for me.

...I feel compelled to go on and on, but really, I don't know what more to say. If they ever create a prison for people like this, they had best hope I'm not the warden.

...and I would make it a life's AMBITION to be the warden.

Let's just leave it at that.

I'd say format the bitch, and in the future maintain better security practices so that it doesn't happen again

I hope you get it fixed soon x_-


...When you do get it fixed, I'd recommend changing browsers. Most of these things work through popular programs like IE and Outlook x_x (because these asshats want to hit as many people as possible)..

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode? The computer might not be recoverable at this point, but at least you'll be able to back up anything that's left that's important...

And yeah, I have to agree with tossy that it'd be best to simply wipe the whole thing clean and start from scratch... Then make sure to use a safer browser, use a firewall, etc..

Attempt to repair Internet Explorer by typing this exactly at the "run" prompt if it's IE 5.5 (I doubt it... assuming a new computer, here):

rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE5Maintenance "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Setup\SETUP.EXE" /g "C:\WINDOWS\IE Uninstall Log.Txt"

Or, this, if it's IE 6.0:

rundll32 setupwbv.dll,IE6Maintenance "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\Setup\SETUP.EXE" /g "C:\WINDOWS\IE Uninstall Log.Txt"

Exact spacing is crucial.

Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer run from the same basic stuff, so this may help one or both.

Also run the System File checker by typing the following at the run prompt:

sfc /scannow

Be sure to have your Windows CD that came with the computer handy while doing this, incase it finds a damaged file that it would like to repair.

About to run out the door, but I'll try to dig a bit more about the symptoms in a bit.

If you guys are really just sick to death of all the security flaws in Windows, then I'd have to strongly recommend considering a Macintosh. It is the most secure computer system there is (I remember reading that the government uses them because of the security), and because there aren't as many users for it, Hackers haven't even bothered writing any viruses for it. It takes some adjustments to get used to, but you won't have to deal with this sort of stuff until Microsoft somehow looses it's monopoly.

The only real drawback is the lack of games for the system (I still haven't played Ragnarok online... ;_;)

But, anyways, enough of the sales pitch... hope your computer woes get fixed soon...

Yeesh another kick in the knickers. Man I'd be bummed out too, but don't give up. Things will look up. For some wierd reason this month has been lousy for my older sister. Are you born in the year of the rabbit? Perhaps it is a bad luck time for people born within that year. Yeah I'm sort of superstitious while I'm sort of not, but try rearranging furniture. Asian people are aboslutely superstitious about the position of their stuff. I know my mom is though. Apparently a house facing east is lucky.

Maybe it's the other zodiac?

This entry is, without a single doubt, the most heart-wrenching, jaw-dropping entry that I have ever seen in all my years on this Earth.

I wish you the best, buddy, in everything.
