This Sucks

I hate the fact that my computer hasn’t been working for over a week, two if we count the previous week I spent trying to get rid of the spyware and trojans. And I hate that my site hasn’t been working for the last 10 minutes when I’m trying to fix the join form on my John Lennon fanlisting. Which is no longer approved by TFL but oh well. I’ve just got so much other shit going on right now, it’s not really a big thing. Oooh now the site’s working again. Stupid thing…

And now I can look forward to upgrading Wordpress and Enthusiast again when my computer is working. Joy.

Spam and Spyware

Spam stuff has really been pissing me off the last few weeks. I was trying to catch up on manga scanlations, specifically yaoi *cough* so I would visit Tokudane who lists all the yaoi group updates. Well Tokudane uses a Cjb.net address. Every single time I went there I was getting this pop-up ad. Basically it installed WinAd (or Windows Task Ad) onto my computer. That’s not supposed to be there, trust me. Well nobody else on Mirc seemed to have it. I realized it was Cjb.net and not Tokudane because I also got it when I visited MangaProject.

So even though PC-Cillin is lovely and Ad-aware kicks totally ass, they don’t stop it from happening. Ad-aware just fixes it once it’s happened. Last week I installed Spyware Blaster and it’s totally awesome. Major California accent emphasis here. No problems visiting Cjb.net sites now, mwahahahahaa!!!!
