\o/ PC spring cleaning

Jun 17, 2008 18:17

After going through my harddrive which was filled with a whopping 119 GB, I started to delete useless programs, get rid of adware, cookies and spyware, and run Norton a couple of times; I've managed to get rid of at least 21 GB. Forunately, my computer is a bit faster. Unfortunately, I am still having trouble getting rid of Trojan.Vundo. Have any ( Read more... )

I've never encountered Trojan.Vundo before. There's always anti-virus programs. I used Avast before and it was pretty good. :)

Good luck with finals! ♥ Iconing is way more fun, haha. Congrats on getting the webmaster position! :] I love the site too. :3

Oooh! MapleStory, Trickster (yay! haha), World of Warcraft, Fiesta. :)

Avast? Sounds good. I've been trying to load up on antivirus programs to protect my computer from those nasties. >_>

Thanks! I've just gotten into the rythm of iconing and I don't want to lose it!

Someone suggested Fiesta so I'm going to try it out, not tonight though.

I've never encountered Trojan.Vundo before. My anti-virus of choice is avira, which is free, except that you might be annoyed by the popup every evening when it updates itself.

Couple things about the website:
1. Too much free space at the side and bottom.
2. Light pink links on white makes my eyes hurt.

^_^ Otherwise it looks good.

My MMORPG of choice right now is Fiesta, which is pretty fun. I've also tried Mabinogi and Maplestory, but gave up on those eventually.

Popups from the program are fine and I could deal with. And best of all, it's free, I'll have to try it some time.

Thanks for the crit! I've gotten used to the light pink but now that I think of it, I want to protect the visitors eyes!

Fiesta and Mabinogi sound fun! Especially Fiesta, plus the characters look cute!

I pretty much quit Mabinogi after three weeks. There were some aspects of it I like (the part time job system), but the battle system irritated me too much.

If you like epic fantasy Mmorps, I'd recommend Lineage 2 I'd be willing to help out how I can to get you guys started XD

And yay for pc cleaning XD

Good luck on your finals!

Suggestions for the website:
On the flash page, this is just my preferences too (and I'm on firefox btw), maybe try to have the logo centered and the "cannot see" link located underneath it. (Smaller text for the link would be nice too.) The light pink links are hard to make out, but the website has a really nice layout. Someone mentioned the "white space" on the website and I'd suggest maybe centering the layout (I'm a center freak XDXD) or making it all a bit bigger :) Otherwise it looks really nice! I like the banner!
Also, the videos link goes to the front page :o And, if possible, make the arrow thing more pretty and matching with the rest of your layout :D Great job!

PS: I love the colors of your lj layout! So pretty!

Red, Black and white are cool school colors but they're really hard to coordinate to make something pretty. Thanks for the critism. :D, sometimes I do things too fast I don't notice the mistakes like the videos link and the "white space"

pc cleaning...is sort fun XD

Lineage 2 looks so pretty and the graphics *o*

Thanks!

Is Lineage 2 free? And it looks really intimidating. Skimmed through one or two reviews and they say it's mostly for the hard core social gamer. ^_^ I'm just a casual one.

Hmmm... I've pretty much used Norton on all my computers so I don't have a suggestion :( Trojon.Vundo? Never heard of it... Did you search for the definition of it @ Norton? They have virus definitions, might help :)

Congratulations! ^^ Looks pretty good :]

Hmm... Definitely World of Warcraft.

I've searched the definition. I just have trouble getting rid of it. >.< Everytime I try to get rid of it, it just never goes away. But for now, I think I've gotten rid of it.

Thank you!

Many people have suggested that, I shall go try it!
