April fool's on you? Virus carnival!
I attempted to cheat and steal a paid version of a certain multimedia program, and it turned out to be loaded with viruses. My evening has been awesome. I guess cheaters really don't win. :(
So I've been in safe mode backing up for like four hours, and on attempting to restart, I discover that my computer does not start outside of safe mode. It can't go online in safe mode either, I have to start it in Safe Mode With Network Drivers.
Posted hiatuses at Marina and WL, the former being especially a shame since Lelouch needs to make a post and Sentience did just post lfkdjlg. Yeah. I'm debating between System Restore (because, fuck, easy is better) and downgrading to a less stupid version of Windows (because Vista is annoying me with all its administrator privilege BS).
Edit: Man, it seems like it uninstalled Windows Defender Checkpoint. That sounds bad!
Edit: Looks like System Restore worked. I was able to get out the virus and everything seems to be happy. Hooray. *passes out*
