OK, so what is the stupidest way to destroy you PC:

A. Hit it with a hammer.

B. Leave it outside.

C. Allow a 3 year old to play with it.

D. Download a suspicious file from the Internet, then open it even though you knew it might have a virus.

...

If you answered D, then you are as stupid as me yay!! XD

Thats right, Saturday night I was ****ing around and I downloaded a Zip file from a web site (no, it was not porn), I did not scan it (even thought I knew there was a REALLYY BIG CHANCE that it had a virus inside it) XD, I extracted it, and then I opened it (I was counting on my Anti-virus to back me up in case something happened; I was so wrong XD). I clicked on it, the icon disappeared it, it took out my anti-virus, froze the the applications, and I decided to shut down....

I boot up an I get the blue screen of death... ... I reboot again, I get files corrupted , then I reboot and I get blue screen again .... XD

The point being, after having my PC on a massive coma for about 4 1/2 hrs, I decided to repair windows, 1-2 hrs later, I was able to boot up, BUT the computer was filled with ad-ware and Trojans... I got rid of them, BUT the PC was still freaking slow. So I scanned and copied all my important data to my second hard drive and I formatted then C: drive and reinstalled windows (I did that yesterday). Now it works as if it was brand new , good thing I kept copies of all my important files **gives a thumb up**

HD-DVD did NOT lose the war....ok ok....MAYBE it did.....but just thnk about it....SOOOOO many good offers now!!!! saving money is good.

and about the computer thing. I was on myspace.....and supposed a worm got into my comp....it hid in one of my system files...and i had NO way of deleting it.....Why? Well, if i deleted it...it was delete the file....therefore rendering my computer useless....

I took out windows....installed a fresh copy.....same thing happened. The comp was also EXTREMELY slow. The system resources were at 100% used constantly. The laptop kept overheating and shutting itself off.

I finally wiped the harddrive clean and created a new partion....then it was all good ^_^
