Hi.

My computer is fixed nao. At least I think so anyway, thanks to a little local computer shop called "Techs N the City".

Anyway, I'm back. I KNOW YOU ALL MISSED ME.

EDIT: Oh yeah, what did I miss?

I'll try the safe mode thing.

If that fails, I'm purchasing a harddrive, putting what I want on there and reformatting. My dad says this will cause all kinds of trouble though and that I shouldn't.

---

Just what are you guys doing with your computers to allow them to get infected anyway?

Try having a father who's bright idea was to lock down his son's computer and prevent him from maintaining security while your friend pulls a selfish act by downloading junk on your computer without your approval.

Wonderful. Another death related topic.

The game came out? Coincidentally, I'm busy with computer problems (duh), will be busy with school, and currently don't care.

I'll probably boycott til' Capcom announces the sales flopped.

Yes and no.

Due to the ware attack, my dad gave me administrator privaleges. I'd say that's the smartest move he's made in three years.

But NOW I can't manage to load ANYTHING on IE and I think my CPU is slower. Songs on my iTunes were actually skipping...

I am on MSN though.

He would've had a better chance offering money or sex.

I'm not even paying attention.

Maybe I'll read what you people are doing to me when I resetup my computer. I'll strangle you afterwards.

Ok almighty overlords, what do you want me to say?

Simon says nothing.

...

That was perfect. Avatar and everything.

Yeah, you tell'm Nova. ##### FRIENDS.

Spybot removed like, 25 things that Norton overlooked.

CPU restarted.

IE7 was installed.

CPU restarted.

Now I'm back on the Wii 'cause it's not loading ANY pages. Any ideas on how to make it faster?

I'm working with Spybot S&D right now. All is working well so far with IE. When the pop-ups go away, I'll be more content.

EDIT: S&D found something called "CoolWWWSearch".

Is that it?

EDIT2: Woah Nelly. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4113.html

CoolWWWSearch.SmartKiller (v1 and v2) is a new, real ugly variant of CoolWWWSearch. When running, it will close every browser window you use to visit a large list of anti-spyware-sites, and even will close Spybot-S&D and some other anti-spyware applications as well.

So if your copy of Spybot-S&D (or the anti-spyware application of your choice) closes a few seconds after starting, or your browser closes whenever you try to visit an anti-spyware site, try this CWS.SmartKiller removal utility.

Simply unzip and run!

---

Icons have disappeared, as well as my toolbar. Again.

Also, anyone signing in on MSN IM are popping up in the TOP LEFT corner now. Not the bottom right.

No more pop-ups, but IE won't let me view ANY posts here. It loads and never stops "loading". Again, I'm on my Wii.

Awhile ago my computer justs kept opening my homepage in multiple browsers over and over. I had to shut down. It was messy and aggravating.

I'll check out Tech support, then Spybot/AVG.

---

And NOW I can see this page.

And I GOT a Pop-Up again.

EDIT: Just thinking... all I REALLY want to save is my iTunes, music, Norton Internet Security, and default settings. How do I save that and "restart" my harddrive?

It says it was incomplete.

In other words, a failure...

I just did a system scan using Norton. It found 3 viruses, Adware, "AVSystemCare", "PCPrivacyTool", "SystemDoctor", and some cookies.

And somehow, I'm STILL getting pop-ups. I'm performing another scan.

I'm also having trouble logging on. When I log onto the computer, my toolbar disappears and my desktop freezes. I have to log off and log back in and hope it doesn't do that.

I just attempted to post this exact same message awhile ago until I got attacked by pop-ups and the same thing happened: My desktop froze.

EDIT: Also, I intentionally wanted to put this in the AOB board, but I'm apparently off by a tad bit and I can't seem to move it.

This thread can be used if there's a problem on the computer and someone is unsure or knows how to solve it.

Anyway, as I've stated before, I have unwanted wares on my computer that I need to get rid of. I'm STILL getting pop-ups like mad.

I'm paranoid and unsure what to trust. I'm constantly getting responses from a program called "AntiSpywareMaster" (I don't know if it was originally with my computer or not). I've now updated Norton Internet security and persuaded my parents to give me administration privledges.

Here's some screens of the problem. I just got these seconds ago. When these pop-ups come and I minimize them, they just pop right back up.

The 3rd one, aacpu3 is a random pop-up. I did NOT go to the site, and freewebs never gives me pop-ups.

EDIT: Does anybody know if these wares/viruses actually exist on my computer? Or is this a scheme to download something?

Adding. Be sure to add me.

P. K. FREEEEEZE!

Possibly a short absence, but I refuse to turn on computer until it gets fixed.

I'm posting this via Wiinternet. Don't expect any posts from me in a while 'cause I'm not gonna. It's taking me a long ass time just to "type" this, so yeah.

worms, trojans, spyware, adware, etc. FTL

EDIT: Maybe really short comments. If I feel like it.

God damnit, I'm not letting anyone on this computer ever again.

My friend is a retard and went to some site when he came over today. I have adware and probably other junk on my computer now.

I'm getting a pop-up every five minutes and it's lagging like never before.

That green Genome guy looks like a ripoff from Mr. Freeze in the Batman: The Animated Series.

Except for the fact that he's just a head.

Not to bump your video off, but it just reminded me of this for a second:

I posted this on WIND's forum while MMM was down.

About the video though, that's really insightful and cool.

I already knew about that. I was talking about games AFTER Sonic & Knuckles.

That happened before/during.

Well yeah, I forgot about the dumb little fights he was tricked into in Sonic Adventure.

And I might've played Triple Trouble, but cared less since it was a GameGear game.

Just about right, yesh.

#1) The question was already answered.

Use a chip after GaiaSword and the attack power of the next chips add to it's power of 100.

Basically, you can pile Salamanders, CrossSheild3s and alot of other high powered but hard to use chips after it to make it deals alot of damage.

Also, you need to be a Wood Style to use it.

#2) This topic ended months ago. As in, it's dead. You just necroposted.

Oh, and your welcome for this post.

That is something he DIDN'T tell me.

I second the following statement:

OMG WANT.

I heard from a friend they're making a sequel to Tales of Symphonia. I know nothing about it except for the fact that he saw the game poster.

Is that what you were mentioing Edge? Tales of Vesperia?

stfu n00b

Eh. He doesn't appear in Sonic games as much as I'd hope for. It's like they're going in all the wrong directions with it.

Wait, what's this topic about? Sonic Unleashed? Yeah, that's a prime example right there.

It could be an obsession, but it could also be for bragging rights. I'm assuming John is REALLY good at Guitar Hero.

Example: For me, that's probably Yu-Gi-Oh! with the former, Mario Kart DS on the latter.

She had kids.

Hence the kids meals.

Just got back from work. I had to get THE customer who had a very precise order with complicated junk and requests that Wendy's can't actually do. I wanted to put a bullet in her/my head.

In a nutshell, I want a sandwich, substitute the cheese with swiss, Jalepenos and cheese sauce on it, onions. Everything else put on the side, including mustard. I want three Jr. Bacons Cheeseburgers., one of them plain. Wait, make two of them plain. Make the other one extra bacon. Make sure all of the bacon is extra crispy. I want four kids meals. Wait, no, three. No wait, five. Nevermind, make it four again. All cheeseburgers, chili as the side. I know that's not an option for kid's meals but I want it anyway, and there's a line behind me and I'm not budging. Also, everytime you make a drink, I want to see you do a backflip, etc etc.

OH ##### GOOD EYE

WHAT THE ##### IS THAT ABOUT HUH?

I liked Shadow when he first hit the scene at least. I hated the fact that they tried to kill him off, so they had to make him pull a Zero and have "lol, amnesia".

And I love Knuckles by the way, but he wasn't exactly Sonic's rival. They've stayed friends since Sonic & Knuckles. I'd say Metal Sonic is more of a rival to Sonic than Knuckles.

*watches the cane yank NAH off the stage*

So. How about that Advent?

Well #####. I saw the three slim ones, and it took me awhile to realize there was a fourth one. The hell?

Never heard of Star Ocean until now. If they remake the sequel for the PSP, I might give it a try.

It'll give me another game to buy on the PSP platform at least.

I don't have a camera on me so yeah, I scanned it.

Yours broke in a different area. Huh.

I just opened it a while ago and...

._.;

Can I super glue it?

D:

Definitely. I can nod to that.

I really should finish it up sometime.

...

*goes back to playing MGS3*

Yeah it's too bad I dont go shooting my mouth off, other than you who makes himself look like Jesus, mine is JUST a name, i don't say im some badass lightning throwing god.

Hm? He's saying he's a god? I thought that was you talkin'.

OH MY GOD!

Mikero's Jesus guys!

... I must be hallucinating.

EDIT: Also, your statement that goes "mine is just a name, his makes him sound pretentious", goes the other way around.

If you could find any of them at least. I can only find BN3 used. But that's just my area so he might be more lucky.

I'm seeing every type of BN game used (except for the BN5:DS version) at my Gamestop. I'm sure I saw BN1 as well, but there was only one copy. They had one brand new in the box when I was looking for it years back, but I didn't want to spend $30 on an old game.

I'm quite sure. I remember BN2 not having a price tag on it for some reason.

Well they could've gone a lot better with it, but I liked Shadow when he first popped in. He just happened to pop in when Sonic games started to suck.

Sonic didn't NEED an "evil counterpart." He had a villain.

Can't think of the word, and I'm too lazy to think, but I always wanted there to be one in Sonic. Shadow was it.

Same for Mega Man. Mega Man had a villan too, Dr. Wily, but Bass popped in and fitted the role well.

I think the word I'm looking for is antagonist.

EDIT: Actually, I think Shadow is the LAST new Sonic character I like. There's E-123, but he was... I dunno. Meh. In general, I don't like looking at the cover of a Sonic game and seeing a face I don't recognize. They have TONS of characters as it is.

Sonic needed an "evil" counterpart. Shadow fit that roll. That's enough hedgehogs for me. Sonic, Shadow, and Amy.

Silver just made me think, "... Great. ANOTHER Sonic character."

*compares*

It's gotta be the eyes. Squinting a little probably would've done the trick.

I've liked Sonic and Shadow.

I don't get Silver.

The Incredible Celt!

(lame)

No offense, but I'm weirded out by that photo. It looks like you're coming onto me rather than an attempt to be cool.

I'll just... blame it on the camera angle...

Right. When I think turn based, I think it's going to be predictably boring. I'll attack, I'll be attacked, repeat. I totally forget those little elements in the game that make the RPG worth playing.

The little area on the bottom right helped me strategy-wise as well. I'd know when I'd have to recover health or strength.

EDIT: John, you should at least give BN1-3 a shot if possible. At least one. Preferably #2.

The great thing about Battle Network was you could take your sweet time with a turn. Your custom gauge was just there to keep you from spamming chips, so you'd have to dodge some attacks or compose a strategy during that time before the next turn.

BN5 is a different story, and I one of the reasons why I hate "liberating" areas.

Basically, I'm saying the early Battle Network was original, new, and really fun. Command Mission is the same. I have a friend who's really into RPGs and never played Command Mission. He watched a video about it and he was thought it was an amazing game.

*facepalm*
