Oh. Cute. Trying to check my messages on DA flips me to something that claims it wants to install anti-virus software, which is probably itself a virus.

DA really needs to screen their advertisers better.

Also, Bridgie's dad gave her really horrible $1 DVDs for her birthday, MST3K type stuff. We just watched one called Warriors of the Wasteland, which was pretty bad, but achieved epic bad at the end, when our 'hero' donned see-through plastic plate armor, and chased down the villain's hopped-up golf cart in his hopped-up camaro, out of which a giant drill emerged with comical noises, and then gave the bad guy death by buttraep through the trunk of his car.

No lie. They gave a nice camera shot to be sure you knew the drill came in through the base of his seat.

Part of me is gone forever.

Oh, cripes. My recent computer woes were from one of those--something called Spyware Protection 2009 or something along those lines. It was a particularly nasty one. We didn't download it from any of its popups or anything; it just took. I hope you got away from there clean!

Dunnoyet. I closed it via task manager, because that was the only way I could. Anxiety lurks, oh yes it does. Plus this is, I think, about the first I've been online all week except checking eml. Blurgh. I'm afraid to go back and try again.

Delete all your temp internet files right away and clear your history to. Then run a search for any file with that kind of name attached to it if you find it delet it to if you can't scan it. Then send the site an email telling them whats going on. I think its on the work computer as I went there to check out your art work to the only thing that helps is trying to delet the temporary files and history ones. Its like a killer pop up virius. I hate those. What system are your running rey? xp, or vista? If you can go to a site thats reliable and get a fee scan for your computer and see if you can get rid of it that way. I just hope it didn't stick. Oh and delet cookkies as well it might help to.

Honestly, it seems to be okay. I'm still trying to find somewhere on their site to let them know what happened, but it never reached the point where it was able to download anything because of the way I closed it. It was one of those things where the only option was to click a button that said 'okay' but task manager let me shut it down. I've got XP pro which is... just a little weird, but sometimes in good ways. I'm not touching Vista if I can avoid it.

It really doesn't seem to have stuck, I've done restart and cleaned stuff out.

Good glad to hear it. Let them know if you can.

I know nothing about computers, but the movie makes me crack up. Oh god, I have to look this up.

Was this a male or female hero?

It was pretty bad. Her dad got a whole handful of cheapass dollar DVDs because he knows she likes MST3K. There was other stuff too, but they've been entertaining.

In the plastic armor? Male. Actually there were only two chicks of note in the whole picture, the one that was there for sexings with the secondary (but more capable) hero, and the one that sounded like a five year old and stood around in her leotard being injured. Neither had a big part.

To make matters worse, the movie ended with the guy, still in his plastic see through armor, holding hands with the eight year old mechanic boy. OMFG. The wrongness.

Nothing says poetic justice like a giant drill up the ass.

*Cringe* Oh man... You know, the villain did have this outfit of black leather bondage gear overtop of loose white clothing, and at one point he inexplicably had a hole cut out of the white clothing to show off his stomach. This was an ordinary looking guy who might be about forty. Somebody needed to tell him the bondage gear goes on under your clothes...
