You can tell what's legit or not by using your own common sense.

If you say so.

I'm sure it could be "common sense" to people unfamiliar with the internet to see something saying "Adware free, Malware free computer scan! Click here for more!"

To think it's legit, click on it and- whoopsie-daisy, you now have a few dozen trojans.

Actually it was its own original plot eight months before it ran. Then discussions happened.

It was also supposed to be about everyone's personal developmen, with more sequences like the one at the beginning in the fog, but that sure fucking fell through, didn't it?

I do have other things planned for it, but they're not a huge priority.

Best plot in this game though? Easily.

Still waiting for this virus thing to scan. I took a short nap the first time, and when I woke up I found the computer had bluescreened for the fifth time this week.

Malwarebytes actually found and deleted some shit, and also snagged a file from Yula I missed. That was nice of it. Unlike Avast, which declared everything just peachy.

No.

Every time I open up a new tab, it's there. There's no option to get it to go back to blank tabs that I can find.

As far as I know (and I don't know much about this shit), having multiple anti-virus programs like that at once can really really bog down your computer.

That's what happened to my family's desktop. Also, it was a piece of shit and I wanted a new one anyway.

Computers are pricey, but I think I got this laptop at Staples for.... ehh... $250 or something like that. It runs fine.

It may be more expensive than that, but even a low-end, modern computer is probably gonna be better than the toaster you're using now.

No, but thank you for trying.

[up]I have had the money to buy myself a high-end, custom computer for several months now. My father keeps coming up with reasons why I can't get one after I gave him the money to.

Feh.

Can you drive yet?

EDIT: Oh shit, is that what's bogging your computer down? What a fucking coincidence (if that's the case), that's EXACTLY what was wrong with my computer the last time. Apparently Conduit and other shit like it act as gateways for other nasty crap to spill into your computer.

That MAY be what's happening. In that case, yeah, you'll need to nip it in the bud.

No, and I have no license or car. I usually just walk everywhere.

@Space: That contains a lot of the same stuff from the first link.

But it doesn't matter, because I DID IT!

Reset a bunch of defaults.

...Why this didn't work the first six times I did it is beyond me, but fuck it, I don't care.

[up] Conduit was one of the first things Malwarebytes nabbed, so that's taken care of at least.

Time to watch HD videos compile again.

Have I ever mentioned how much Denzel weirds me out? Not the character itself, but the thinking and execution behind him.

Ha ha ha

That's actually kind of funny. I had no idea myself that THAT THING of all else, was what was fucking up my computer.

It took me a few weeks to actually get the guts to get it looked at and analyzed, but I did it. The warning signs for me were: unusually slow speed, at least one program not working properly (oddly, my Wi Fi-connectivity on my taskbar did not work and neither did my volume slider. Weird.)

It's good to be paranoid of these things. You never know.

[up]Watch where you download that crap from. I downloaded a few things once, and it did not occur to me that I was unwittingly installing some kind of nasty addon.

If you're downloading something, don't just click NEXT NEXT NEXT, like... read everything, as boring as that may be. I remember downloading a free game I saw a Youtuber playing, and when I tried installing it, some weird thing called Wajam wanted me to authorize it.

Mmmyep, that's malicious. If a program you download asks you "do you wish to install the 'blah blah blah' toolbar?" DON'T LET IT.
