Okay, by the power invested in me by, well, ME, I hereby declare that anyone who even so much as CONSIDERS writing a computer virus will be immediately hanged by their ******* hairs and sodomized with a cattle prod until they repent of their evil ways and agree to spend the rest of their lives doing honest work, cleaning toilets for a living...with their tongues.
Monday:
Ambrya downloads a file she needs for a school project. McAfee starts wigging out, and giving messages such as "the last five emails sent out were identical, do you want to stop these messages?" and "McAfee has found a suspect file, do you wish to perform a complete scan now?"
Ambrya shuts down her computer, starts up in safe mode, and performs a complete scan, getting rid of about five different infected files.
Tuesday:
Ambrya runs another virus scan just for sh[black][/black]its and giggles and gets rid of another 5 infected files that somehow weren't infected on Monday.
Today:
Ambrya notices the computer acting rather laggy, then suddenly it reboots itself spontaneously as she's working on her paper. When she restarts it, she can log in, but can't open her email program, web browser, word processing program, or shut it down again using the "turn off computer" option in the Start menu. Powers computer off manually and restarts again. When she reaches the login screen, McAfee is shrieking about suspicious files, but she can't actually log in.
Ambrya shuts down computer AGAIN and starts in safe mode, runs another virus can, gets another three infected files, which are infected with a different trojan than the ones found Tuesday, which were infected with a different trojan than the ones found on Monday.
At present moment, Ambrya is swearing a blue streak as she anticipates having to rebuild her computer, and is anxiously waiting for the next manifestion of this ******* to begin.
