April fool's on you? Virus carnival!

[sincere]

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*

Vista is er.. A bit more unconvenient that XP, hehe. Hey, I want to rec something. If you ever decided to come back to XP goodness but still want the Visual Deliciouness of Vista, Search for Vista Transformation Pack and you can download it for free (virus-free o' course). :3 I have XP but my OS looks like a total Vista one. If you don't want all the Vista crap, I think you should try this out. :)
