Computer Question

[DamnYankee]

you speak from experience....

Three days ago I was looking at stupid shit, not porn just crap, wasting time. It fucked up my computer big time.

Sounds viral.

Restart in safe mode (hit f8 during the start-up) then go to safety.live.com and do a complete system scan. It takes a bit of time but will clean out all that porn shit you've been looking at.

It does take awhile huh. Do I need to sit here the whole time?

I paid for some type of anti-virus software which seemed to be working. Is what I'm doing now redundant?

I am just trying to save you some money. Here's another tip as well, download Libre Office instead of paying shitloads to Microsoft for MS Office, again it's free and 100% compatible.

I've been hearing about IPv4 exhaustion for 10 years and it hasn't happened yet due to widespread use of NAT. I'd be very surprised if any of the RIR pools are exhausted in the next four years.

MalwareBytes is a great program.

For antivirus I'm partial to NOD32. Its maker is a UK-based company, I believe.

EARTH to cawacko...for the third time:

btw...what browser and did you clear you cache?

I haven't read through the entire thread, but off the top of my head, it sounds like something tampered with your hosts file. Tell me if this works:

Have you updated your virus definitions lately? Some people never do, and they create new viruses every day. I am with DY on this one, sounds like a trojan worm, and if that's not it, you probably just have a real crappy ISP which is dropping chunks of the web.. that happened to me before.

Yes, and write down every file name that comes across the window.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

You usually have to pay extra to an ISP to get a static IP address, the default is to get a dynamic address from a DHCP server.

Relevant part.

The internet is running out of IPv4 addresses fast, IPv6 will allow a maximum of 3.4×10^38 addresses.

​

Irrelevant, weird diatribe.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

When IPv6 is implemented worldwide, there will more IP addresses than stars in the Milky Way and then some.

Sounds like communism. I know I don't want none of that. I'm sticking with IPv4, the IP protocol of freedom, of God, of America, the red white and blue, and if any of you fellers try ta implement that commie protocol anywhere near ma home imma send you ta meet your maker.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

you could...if they do not have secured wireless networks. mine is secure. if the network is open, i don't know if its stealing. i have a friend who leaves his unsecured for those who can't afford it. *shrug*

btw...what browser and did you clear you cache?

It depends on the state. Realistically no one is going to catch you.

AVG sucks, as do all things non-Microsoft. I'd go with the Microsoft products. They're better implemented and free as well.

All alternatives to MS Office suck monkey balls and should only be relied upon in times of desperation.

Some people never do, and they create new viruses every day.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

I'd honestly update my software more often if Microsoft didn't force you to restart your computer every single fucking time. What is it with Microsoft and restarting your computer? Almost no one else requires this for their programs, and if they can do it, MS should be able to as well.

My bad. Internet explorer. I need to clear my cache. How do I do it?

the computer is only about 6 months old. I did get a virus but took it to the geek squad who fixed it. Everything was working fine until a week ago when Google stopped working.
