My adventures with antivirus. *yawn*, click on the downward pointing arrow on your scrollbar for more interesting posts.

For some reason, I’d never been a victim to virus attacks, even when I didn’t have antivirus. The funny part is I started using antivirus anyways. I usually used norton but then I moved on to zone and then finally to avg. But avg looked real sad. So after I reinstalled, I got hold of Kaspersky and installed it, which worked real well. It apparently had great disinfection features and I tweaked it so it won’t interfere in my life much. The only bad part is that I’d set a morderately large file for download and gone to sleep, and for waking up, I use my computer as an alarn clock, and I wake up to the sweet sound of slayer every morning. So when the download was over and kaspersky found a virus, it played a horrible painful hellfull sound, that almost gave me a heart attack when it woke me up. I’ve listen to norwegian black metal and that’s the worst, but nothing comes close to that sound of some evil mutated virus-like animal.

But anyways, for some reason I turned it off today evening and I didn’t use the net cause it was not working though I might’ve downloaded somthing off my college lan filesharing network, but when I re-enabled kaspersky, I got plenty of alerts claiming that it’s been infected with hidrag and plassma. Apparently svchost was also infected and it had to follow some special procedure. So I’m just running a full system scan right now and writing to kill time after which I’ll set it for defragmentation and re-indexing and system maintainance and sleep till 2 in the morning(it’s 10 in the night now), and then study before going to the exam, where i’ll be fkd for sure.

yay! scan finished. viruses only in sysmanger.exe and svchost.exe
