As some of you may have noticed, I have internet access now. It was a nice suprise, seeing as I didn't exactly expect it. I kinda just arrived home to my grandpa telling me off for having an unclean room when the internet installation guy was there. At first I was thinking 'wth are people doing in my room?!' before the fact that I had net now actually hit me. btw, my room is normally uber clean, but I let a 2/3 yr old roam loose in it the night before and didn't feel like cleaning it up at the time.
The first thing I did was attempt to get some anti virus protection. Ever since that LAN party at Matts house, my computer has been infected with some idiot virus that screws over any exe files it can get it's grubby little cyber paws on, and stop it from working. Which at first seemed to work, the program tracking down some 6-8 thousand infected files, and quarantining most of them. "Most" =_=
Because when I got home from school the next day, I found that the virus had reinfected everything, INCLUDING the newly downloaded antivirus program. It was McAfee btw. My Norton expired some ages ago. I went on msn (one of the still functioning programs) to get some recommendations for good anti virus's, and I ended up trying 5 or 6 different ones. 4 of them died, much like McAfee, some not even getting to start their scan, some before they even got to open!
The last two were used at the same time, and it LOOKED like they worked, and my computer FELT like they worked. As you can probably tell from my empathised words, they didn't. I woke up this morning to find my computer pretty much even worse than it was before. And it got to my MSN ;_; And I tried to download the setup for it, but the vurs killed that too ;^;
On a few lighter tones, I seem to be getting back into gaming =] I finished Gem TD Extreme Race mode for those of you who know what that is. I started playing Maple again...*dodges various forms of slander and 'wtf' insults*. And I started playing this awesome mmorpg called RF Online. It just looks so awesome, though it has a slight WoW-esque feel to it, which kinda creeps me out a bit. But then again, WoW doesn't have a mech race does it? And awesome cutscenes that remind you of the Final Fantasy Advent Children movie. *nods*. Though, I suspect that the reason I'm playing them is due to lack of other stuff to do >< Maple I can play because I have the setup for it, and everytime I want to open it, I can run the setup to repair the file. RFO is awesome because when I open it, the patcher thing automatically fixes the game file for me ^^ Oh and I'm finally up to date with Avatar =D
Well I don't have much else to say, so I'll end it here =] Night All, wish I was on msn >.>
