jwaneeta at 05:24pm on 26/06/2005I was in the midst of a big old meme post yesterday, and while fetching links for Ten Celebrities I Don't Find All That Attractive, I picked up that racka-fracka ABI bug. Wow, that's one nasty little piece of adware. I've got Norton and AdAware and firewalls for days, but they got me good.
It's been 48 hours of Spysweep downloads, Webroot scans, purgings and patches (and btw, thanks for nothing, Symantec), but things seem to be settling down. I'm only getting one or two popups an hour, as opposed to a dozen layering up faster than I could close them. I found some good tips at various boards, and as much as it costs me to say it, Microsoft's latest adware-killing DL seems to have taken care of the stubborn offscourings. Filthy! I hope Aurora, abetterinternet, and everyone associated with them may burst.
Attended my first Quaker meeting today ( Read more... )
What with all the malware drama I sorta lost interest in my Unattractive Celebs post, but I will say this: Ashton Kutchner, ack. Also: Batman Begins is well worth seeing. Seriously.
