So help me jesus Im going to tear off his legs, rip the tendons out, weave the tendons together to make a rope, which I would use to rig a sale on a boat which Id use to sail to africa to pick up a couple of mercenaries who would travel with me back to the carribean to steal some ancient aztec relics hidden by a columbian drug cartel, which Id then auction off on ebay and use the money to buy a small caliber, semi-automatic pistol to shoot the bastard who invented spyware.

So you are planning to sell, at a discounted price, the woven tendons on a boat, and then later sell aztec relics on eBay??? Shouldn't you sell it all on eBay, or is this some grand marketing scheme???

:applaud:


Best rant I've read in a while.


I'm in the mood to make people (eg. co-workers) with low self-esteem cry to the point of needing to get drunk immediately after work. I'm at work damnit, we're not friends, stop whining and do your job.

you may have to figure out what's causing the problem, reboot in safe mode, and delete the file manually before you can do anything else.

I :love: Linux.

<edit> I would use Knoppix and boot/clean/scan/reboot and you should be good. Knoppix can't write to NTFS, but it can read it and more often than not delete stuff without issue.

I have a program at home that I can email you in a while, I think. I don't recall the name, but it will take care of your problem. Seriously, use Firefox. You will be great for looking at porn.

Reboot, hit F8 while rebooting.

Go into "Safe Mode"


Go to Windows update and do what it says.

Go DL Antispyware.


Good luck.
