virus

my lifeblood, my electronic crutch, my other girlfriend, call it what you will, you'd be right. and today, my laptop is sick. it has the most blatant malware/virus that i have ever contracted on my home computer. luckily, it doesn't seem to be destroying my hard drive or the like, knock wood, but it has turned my pc into a handy and efficient purveyor of bizarre and garbled marketing messages. it very well could be stealing my identity. the most obvious and incriminating things it does is automatically hijack all google searches, and redirect away from any website that deals with spyware or antivirus software or advice. 

imagine if you had a terrible flu, and one of the symptoms was that you'd swerve away the second you approached a hospital or clinic!

i'm taking it in to professionals ($$$) tonight, and it'll be awfully lonely this week without it!
