HiJackers from hell

I was about ready to put my foot through the monitor. Freaking pop ups and bullshit constantly. Went into Windows/Systems to manually delete the exe files and I watch these bastards propagate as fast as I could delete them. Finally wised up and restarted in safe mode to run AdAware 6 and HiJackThis. Killed the bastards.

I usually run Adaware once a week Chris, usually does the job. The problem I've got at the moment is spam on my works email. I've started using Spy Inspector but if you try and Bounce a mail back to sender it says they have an invalid account.

Sigh. Mozilla is better Mozilla is better Mozilla is better

Usually not an issue. But it was something the kids picked up. 4 bastards that went to Systems.

Stop visiting porn.

I always run Adware after I view porn. Porn just leaves a sextracker cookie and I always hit the same pornsites. TeaTimer warns about hijackers ect but Wifey and kids probably ignore. These bastards hit during a non-porn stretch--basically children playing and searching for games. We were getting pop ups on desktop. Wowex32 or something.

Just to be sure also, I use Pop Up Stopper which is free and self updates and I've disabled the Messenger service in Computer Management ( if you use XP ).

I usually kill my computer with a chef's carving knife.

Thinking that myself Buffer.

It does cost a lot of money though.

Normally, I have no issues with pop ups. Sites that have mega pop ups are sites that I tend not to visit especially the Geoshitties sites. Really hate to have to add yet another program to protect my pc.

Hey the flu is no joke anymore; well at least in China it's getting really serious. The strain of the bird flu is appearing for the first time now in pigs, which'll make it easier for humans to contract it.

Yes I do. And I also remember when crack waas a sexual term and if you got caught smoking it YOU WERE IN BIG TROUBLE.

Finally got round to installing Mozilla, cause I was having some problems with IE as well. Damn, damn glad I dumped MS.

Ah the joys of not getting *any* viruses or spyware here on the yellow-and-grey side of the OS fence. And yet we still have Firefox, and the rise of viruses on Windows means more and more people use it, and more sites support it.

So us BeOS users *benifit* from IE being crap. Lovely.

I think that a lot too; my comp's on its last legs and stuff keeps going wrong with it. Some days I could throw it out the window.
