I'm so fucking pissed right now I could scream. I went to a web site to download a trial web design program. Click on the downloaded file and BOOM! My computer goes nuts. My firewall is disabled, my antivirus program fires off and two other programs pop up screening shit that's trying to access the web and change shit on my computer then my anti-spyware program pops up and starts having a hissy fit. Several files are damaged and I can't get my firewall back up. Luckily I have two more through my little buddies on my desk. But holy fuck. I've now spent the past two hours cleaning my computer and I'm still not done. There's a shitload more on there plus I'll have to restore it to fix all the damaged files. Fucking assholes. My browser had an error and my history and temp files are cleaned up so I don't know what web site that was. Lucky bastards. I found worms, trojans, malware, http cookie shit, spyware, you name it. I sat here pleading for my computer to come back up when I rebooted after shutting down the programs that were running (well, the ones I was able to that is) and removing them from the startup files. Plus, I can't type on the web for some stupid reason. The letters become transposed, cursor backs up on me or an extra space is put in. But I can type on my notepad just fine. Seriously fucked up. I really hate hackers and jack-offs that do this shit. Screw it, I'll just go buy the damn program, I've used it before and know I like it, just wasn't sure I wanted to shell out 50 bucks for it yet again. Lost it on my old computer. Grrr. Thankfully I don't have anything on my computer that can be seriously damaging, like passwords or anything. I don't store that crap. Just need to make sure I get this all cleaned up before I ever check my bank account. Or maybe use another computer. Better idea. Did I mention what bastards they are?
I'm looking forward to another three hours at least of fixing this shit. Thanks assholes, no really. And I can't determine if my userinit.exe file is tagged or not. It's fine in windows but my scan shows it as tagged. Funky. Seriously wish I could commit a felon on someone's ass right now.
And my phone company sucks. I paid my bill, in full no less, last month and this month I get a bill for two months with only a partial payment from the previous month. I'm seriously over Sprint. It is quite possibly the worst phone company in service. Unfortunately, Vonage doesn't service my area yet. But oh baby, as soon as they do, I'm so hopping on the broadband phone trend. At the clinic, Sprint jacked the price of their DSL by nearly $40 a month and when asked about it they explained that they over-extended the area and had to compensate by charging everyone. ??? They screwed up so the customers pay? Dumb shit like that. The phone bill went up from $300 a month to over $500. It's insane. Everytime we turned around they were adding features on that we didn't ask for and we had to call and have them remove the crap and adjust the bill. Even then they only gave the clinic partial credit. Con artists. But complaining does jack. A survey done in the city I live in showed that 95% of the people living here are dissatisfied with the phone service and would switch to another company if offered. Now that's a fun poll. Sprint should be very afraid of Vonage right now, they're already taking over a good portion of Greenwood. I can't wait to call customer service tomorrow and see what they have to say about my phone bill tomorrow. I didn't have time to call them today, by the time I got the bill I was heading out the door to run errands. They've screwed up my bill a total of six times since I've lived in this house. Including shutting off my phone twice in error and then had the audacity to charge me for reconnection! Which was promptly removed when I called back in super bitch mode.
Yes, I'm very crabby. Amazing what jackasses will do for your mood in a single day.
My poor computer. I don't drink but I sure could use some jack daniels right now.
Neat, some secret code thing keeps showing up on my LJ entry when I do spell check. & # 3 9 ; But minus the spaces, it won't show up otherwise. If I type faster than the blink of my cursor then the funky crap happens. Odd it doesn't do that on notepad.
