something awful happened yesterday. my sister downloaded some sort of virus on my computer yesterday. i've been trying to deal with it for the past eleven hours, and i'm absolutely livid at this point. i was livid hours ago so you can imagine how i am feeling right now. i've scanned my computer three times now (with the highest possible search quality, so it takes a long time to complete a full system scan). the first time it found five trojan horse viruses, so i got rid of them. didn't fix the problem. second scan found three more trojan horse viruses. the stupid antivirus program wouldn't let me delete these other files that it called decompression bombs. so, despite the fact that i was getting rid of the viruses, these undeletable decompression bombs are probably causing more to spawn. or causing more to be downloaded from the internet whenever i reconnect the cord on my modem.

right now i'm typing this in notepad because as soon as windows started opening on their own, and stuff, i immediately unplugged the connection cable on my modem. so i'm a little irritated right now. i can't check the internet on how to get rid of decompression bombs without risking getting hijacked. i got so frustrated at one point that i did just that, and all kinds of stupid things started popping up. i couldn't take it anymore after a couple minutes, so i unplugged the cord again. i found the physical bomb files, or whatever, and i deleted them via recycle bin, but who knows if i was even supposed to do that. i can't check the internet to find out. -_-

as if it couldn't get any worse, my mom's laptop died this afternoon. it's not even an old laptop either. i've been trying to fix that at the same time, but i've made it way worse. it has something seriously wrong with the registry, and i was nearly to the point of fixing it, i think. but now i can't even load it up in safemode. i'd boot up the computer from the windows CD but this stupid piece of crap computer came with windows XP dummy-CDs (not the original software, but some stupid manufactured version that's really dumbed down… i need access to command prompts, not pretty graphical menus asking me if i want to reinstall windows! -_-). so it's been double the fun tonight, let me tell you. i'm about this close to reinstalling the OS on this laptop. i really wish i could access the internet on the laptop so i can figure out what's going on with these viruses.

so how am i posting this? i'll be plugging my modem cord back in for a few seconds just to get the message out. if you don't hear from me for the next little while, yeah… that's why.

i'm so tired right now. i've been working on this all day. talk about a fucking shitty way to spend a day off from work. i'm going to bed now… i have to get up early for work in the morning. -_- i can't deal with this any longer.
