Virused

Capital_Prototype got virused. Either a fake MS Anti Virus program virused my computer or I should have paid the MS Anti Virus program money to scan and delete virus threats.

Slowly my virus is ruining my internet and not allowing me to use search engines properly or download new programs.

    try to download AVG anti-virus. there is a free version and it is pretty good. It's what I use and I haven't had any problems in the month that I have been using it.

    Sweet. I have to download it using Jessica's antique Dell. I ran McAfee and Spybot, nothing doing.

    You'll have to get rid of McAfee before installing AVG. Also, go to task manager(ctl + alt+ del) and go to the list of processes your computer is running. For the ones you do not know, google search them to see if they are normal programs, or your virus. There will probably be multiple processes for you to kill. You should only have to kill them once per restart, but once you do, you should be able to run some anti-virus and get rid of them for good.

    Let me know how it goes.

    ps. what did you do to get the virus? if you know it might be easier for me to help you find a program to get rid of it.

    I think I got it from centsports. Something happened a while ago on that sight, but I shut my computer down before it did anything. I stopped going to the website for awhile but then the allure of sports betting got to me and I convinced myself that got the problem fixed.

    The worst part about it is (and I should be too ashamed to admit this) I got the virus at like 11:58 as I was wasting time on the internet for woot.com to rollover.

    That site is no good. I haven't even thought about buying anything. I just keep dreaming that they are going to put some sweet low piced speakers back on though.

    A while ago centsports got banned by firefox for some shady shit and I think I warned you about woot, it is a big waste of time and sometimes there is something good.

    Occasionally they have a 'woot off' where they do one product after another for like 40 hours. It is fucking awesome.

    I did buy this shirt off of shirt.woot.com
