For reasons unknown the computer in my apartment is almost always riddled with viruses. This time we had the "congratulations you've won" virus. What would happen?? Well internet explorer would randomly open random websites all the time. Not only would it do that but while the computer was at the screen that lets us pick whose account to go into there would be pages loading on the separate accounts. Kind of like a thief hiding behind the door waiting for you to come in. To add to the excitement the speakers would randomly says "CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU'VE WON!!!" Which kinda sucked when someone forgot the turn the speakers down in the middle of the night. So I started googling things... If you know me at all... you know I like to google. I like to google the sh*t out of things. So naturally it's the first place I turned. Long story short I found out how to get into safe mode (the computer wouldn't let me do it from the boot screen), get progams to get rid of said virus (1 out of 8 worked), fix the registry (no clue), and repair windows xp without a CD (well this particular issue anyway). How long did it take me...? About 3 days.. Again.. If you know me.. you know I'm not really good with patience. I'd get about an inch of information and well let's just say I really put google to work. Through it all, no more speaker problems.. ooooh and when the virus that seems to be gone was taken care of we couldn't get rid of any of the programs I downloaded because the computer would tell me "windows cannot find rundll32.exe" Which is how the registry came in to play. People on the internet love to give information away and there's almost always a free way of doing things. There's a couple sites that I could have posted all things and having run a program that would give them all the info they wanted.. I didn't have enough patience for that but they're there. I guess this is really just and ode to google. After fixing the rundll32 thing I was able to rid the other 7 anti-virus programs that acutally did nothing other than tell me I had 307.. yes three hundred and seven errors on this computer and it could all be taken care of for a complete download priced at $29.99. So to end this entry...
Dear Google,
I still love you.
~Love Randy
P.S. You say potato.. I say F*ck You.. (That's for Taylor)
