account isn't defined, removing 1000 posts from him and THEN deleting his account isn't very effective, and if you delete his account, RaysTotal doesn't exist any more.



You should always have an AV program on hand. I don't have norton installed, I just keep the CD handy for those oh-shit incidents.

I don't get viruses, I don't download stupid shit, click on stupid links, or open stupid emails. The only virus I've ever gotten was off of a floppy that a friend copied some porn onto for me when I was like 12. Other than that, I mainly just keep the cd on hand in case I fuck something up manually. It is good to know that in case I ever do get a virus, I have the cd on hand. Kix is right tho, maybe we are better than you.

Nod..I got norton installed..I got a bad virus from KaZaA, but norton got rid of it..I had a real bad one a while ago, some monkey something..it tore my pc up, I had to fdisk and restart from scratch because it wouldn't even get past the first screen with pc stats..I had to spam the delete key cuz it would freeze barely a second into memory testing.

Yeah, kazaa fucked my computer up the other day. It did the exact same thing to me. I forgot about that one. I was running windows 98 first edition though, so I guess I was asking for it. It was an easy fix tho. Norton didn't help tho, I reinstalled 98 (which took all of 3 minutes). Kazaa is a bad ass file sharing program, but god damn does it fuck up a computer.

Nod..I heard KaZaA comes with a virus? That sucks..I'm wondering if Morpheus does the same? Or even Grokster. I really would like to use one, but not it they're virus-happy:(



BTW, sorry to hear about the fuckup NIN..if its really bad, you're better off formatting if theres nothing extremely important you'll lose. That's my solution to a lot of PC problems though..if my pc starts acting weird, slow, or starts randomly crashing for some reason....FORMAT! heh.
