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*

Mine has a trojan and I can't open my task manager up until this very minute. ;A;

Mine was a trojan too. :| Apparently it's gone now. I think I'm good, thank god, I'm way too lazy to actually ditch Vista.
