    Not to long ago, I was downloading something, AND uninstalling some software. When I uninstalled the stuff I wanted to, I restarted my computer. When I went to turn it back on...It kept restarting. :rofl: So I had to format. Turns out I downloaded something called Irc.bot, or something..lol

    one time I got one which kept changing my desktop background to porn, was debating whether or not I liked it, but I had to remove it just incase my parents saw.

    this one time, i got this like, bad stomach virus and stuff, and i was like, throwing up and stuff.

    No seriously though, I reinstalled windows about a week ago because of this virus. Not sure exactly what happened but my computer just shut down one daywhile I was working on something and when I went to start it up, all the windows files were corrupt and didn't work. If there is one good thing that came out of it its that I have 0 spyware now :D

    ^wtf? ok...

    this is more of a spyware problem than a virus, but at my grampas house, he has two computers, one for him, one for my cousin who comes over frequently. on my cousin's computer, which i use about once a week, it was going so slow that it took 5 minutes to open a folder, and control pannel was looking for the stuff forever.... I tried running spyware checks, but that was slow as hell. about one file per minute.... so I had to back the stuff up on cd, and reformatted. the computer was back to 100% after that.

    I found out that there were games on there that she installed, and the week before it was working fine. Spyware, and spyware killers couldn't kill fast enough, :lol:
