I LOATHE the creators of Winfixer, Winantivirus, Drivecleaner and every other similar program that has decided to, all at once, descend upon my PC and slow it down with incessant popups and false NAV alerts... these people need lives, I swear. And there goes another one! I've spent the last two weeks trying to rid my system of the damn PUPs and it's driving me mad! I mean besides the popups, things keep stalling and, oh, yeah all my System Restore points were wiped out so I couldn't use that to get rid of Winfixer(the original culprit). I'm currently getting advice from these dudes at a forum called Geeks to Go, though it's a little difficult to get the time to get online long enough to follow all the necessary steps. i do appreciate the help though.
Bah humbug.
Ok, breathing normally now.
Will now attempt to do the rest of the clean up. But before that, mini-update:
- did not get that job but received a job offer in my current department, which I had to decline because of study.
- Study, meanwhile, is going along although with some rather large hiccups due to incompetence on the part of the institution which decided to take over my college. It concerns their work experience guidelines which no one seems to know anything about, meaning my search for places to sign up to next year is halted. Although my tutor has expressed dislike towards WE and I wrote back and am now waiting on his reasons why. I'm a little confused, clearly, about certain course expectations... work expectations and thus how to pace myself for the next year, regarding work and a hopeful career... does make things interesting though so, cool, at least I can't say life's boring.
- That said, I've been going out with my friends heaps and it's been both fantastic and a little distracting (in terms of study). Dopey as it makes me sound, having a life takes adjusting to :P
- Another one of my best friends got married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is currently on her honeymoon in Italy. :D
- I don't normally have much to say in this arena, but guys-wise - an old constant mind occupier has decided to resurface; I've additionally met someone with whom I have a freakish amount in common (although unfortunately I don't think that the attraction is mutual.. damn) and that I really like spending time with (though, sadly, it's not as often as I'd like..everyone's too damn busy nowadays); and am finding myself the object of particular intrigue to someone else. His words, not mine. Of course, what bites is that while yes, he's a pretty interesting guy (in more ways than one), for me, it stops there.
- Lately, I have gone rather DVD-nuts, not only obtaining a good number of that list I mentioned previously, but heaps more and I am now officially obsessed with The Office (US), particularly Steve Carell and John Krasinski and the whole JAM fiasco (although not just that!). This third season already has me hooked. Oh, thank you YouTube, btw.
Ok, on to that clean up now. Pennebaker was right (again)... am feeling much better than I was earlier. Loverly.
