My Saturday

Nothing special to write but due to my laziness last week here's my saturday summary. Yes Azor, there will be an argument I just need to find one.


In New Holstein a local bar hosted a night of local musicians as a charity event to help a family who lost their home in a fire. I drove out to my cousins house who lives right on the main drag. Being the responsible adult I am I knew I would be enjoying some barley beverages and decided early to occupy some space at my cousins house overnight.


I got there at about 1:30 and my cousin and his fiance were messing with their notebook. Come to find out they let a "friend" borrow their laptop for a couple months... You already know whats coming. This friend downloaded limewire and two other movie converters. When I saw the screen I knew they were screwed.


7 trojan viruses have made a home in their computer. I am no computer expert but I know my way around them. They told me there is only 7 so we should be good. I laughed and told them to wait til the end of the scan. 45 minutes later we saw over 450 threats. We went to the bar and had a couple beers, after that we walked the 300 feet to his house. The scan had been completed and found over 18,000 threats.


I told them I know how to fix it and will take care of it in the morning. I finally laid my head on a pillow at about 2:30 am. and was gently woke up at 9:00 by some friends who had to work and were leaving. Definitly not my perkiest day ever, was dreading the long process of uninstalling illicit software and trying to change the hands of time in the computer world.


Two and a half hours later I was able to bring the threats from over 18,000 to 276. Not completly clean I know but hey I am no professional. So I left around noon, ready to go shut my eyes on my bed. I called them and referred them to a virus sweeper I found through pcworld.com after $40.00 their computer is trojan free and the world makes sense again.


I have a couple arguments and for you Azor I will use colored text to highlight them.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD LIMEWIRE SOFTWARE.

FRIENDS DONT LET FRIENDS BORROW A COMPUTER.

GO VIKES AND GO TWINS
