So I got a virus. (No, not swine flu.)
A computer virus. T’was a mean bastard. It hijacked Hijack This for fucks sake.
One would think that a Nigerian Prince who won the UK lottery, sent me a .exe file and I opened it.
I wish I could have done a screen cap of the brutality that it was subjecting my computer to. Ever see the rape scene in Irreversible? It was like that.
I wanna meet the creator of this gem and shake his hand.
But it’s all fixed. I’m running Windows 7 RC for now. What a night.
Here’s the thing. Though viruses exist. They don’t pose the same threat they once did. Many companies and especially the media would like you to think they do, but so long as you are educated on how they work, and have a little common sense. I don’t run anti virus on my machine. Haven’t it years. It’s really not a big deal. The one I got last night was the first once I’d snagged in a good few years.
