It's back. Every time I eat I get sick. Two days of almost no food. Lots of water and an apple per day. I'm really hungry but it's just not worth the consequences.

Similar to what I had last year, but you're not a girl so I doubt it's the same thing. confused.gif

I wish I could panic in my current situation. I'm sitting on three papers and can't motivate myself to start any of them. I've actually had a due date come and go without me feeling any sort of tension. I, of course, didn't do the paper...which is why my lack of panic is an issue.

Considering this has been the way I am for the past few years, I'm really surprised I usually get A's in my classes.

Smacked my head again today, this time on a door (picked up something heavy and fell backwards). Head hurts.

Trying to listen to the game on the internet, it keeps cutting out and my entire connection is being dropped. I go out into the living room, ask my roommate is downloading a bunch of stuff, and he says "Probably". I let him know that that's why my connection keeps dropping, and he just smiles at me and says "But, I'm downloading puppy porn for the puppy!" (they own a corgi) and continues to watch TV. Jack hole.

I get that too. sad.gif Whenever I'm really stressed out, my stomach disorder flares up, and I have to choose between stomach pains from being hungry or stomach pains from eating. I usually choose the latter, because it allows me to live, even if the frequent bathroom breaks don't really make living quite as worth it. dry.gif

I can't get out to the store enough to justify buying fresh fruit either, which is one of the few things that won't hurt my stomach during those times. When I do buy it, I can only buy a small amount, because I know it'll end up going bad if I buy enough to last me until the next time I go shopping. sad.gif

For the first time in a very long time, my computer was infected with malware. I use Kaspersky Anti-Virus and also the freeware versions of MalwareBytes, Ad-Aware and Spy-Bot. I normally browse the Internet with the latest version of Firefox, and rarely visit sites that are even remotely shady.

I decided to try using Opera instead of Firefox for a while, and lo and behold, not two days later while visiting an informational Wiki-type site with way too many ads (in retrospect), I get slammed with some malware called Antispyware Soft. It basically prevents nearly every program and Windows function from running or executing, even the Task Manager, and just essentially makes it obvious to anyone with a brain that it's malware. I'm not sure how it got past Kaspersky.

I restarted the computer in Safe Mode, did a System Restore, and am combing the hard drive with all of my anti-malware programs to root out any further remnants. I will also be following the manual removal instructions on Bleepingcomputer.com to ensure that it's completely gone.

Suffice it to say, I will no longer be using Opera after this. I scan for malware quite regularly, I nearly always have a very clean, very fast and fully updated system, and I don't believe in coincidences. I haven't had to do a system restore in almost two years, and I haven't had to do a "clean wipe" for about four or five years.

Well, I suppose I should count myself lucky that I rarely have any trouble with malware.

I'm not really sure what to say other than I hope that this one bad experience doesn't turn you off from trying new things altogether. A malicious site is malicious no matter what browser you use. You are vulnerable to attack every time you connect to the wild world of the internet so it's times like these you thank your lucky stars that you went to the trouble of backing up. comfort.gif

I know we're not suppose to post bugs here, but I can't find a way to describe this other than 'pocketbelt for sale, went to buy pocketbelt says there's none in stock'

Both the things you tried should have worked, but did you try just the number?

Just go unplug his ethernet cable/wifi adaptor.

I just did, and it did not work. There is no more 147818 in stock -- blah blah blah.

Way to make me pay a ridiculous amount for a pocketbelt! :<

Argh. I'm using internet at 7am. It's nice, it's fast. Then my housemate wakes up and then bam, the internet slows to a crawl.

Malware trouble.


I know how you feel, few weeks ago I got hit by a malware thing (I forget the name) but this one was REALLY persistant, had to go onto the internet, reinstall malware bytes and start from there, tedious. But then it came back after removing it two or three times, and then I got infected with it and it's friend, a similar but slightly differant malware of almost identical names, last time got it, though.

But since then my computer has been crashing ever few days when it usually never does, can't find anything responsible for it, though.

More general dissatisfaction around Lusternia. sleep.gif Not going to go into details though. I think I might focus on Lucan a bit more just because I'm frustrated with how things are going for the skunk.

Everiine, I hope you'll be around more, soonish. sad.gif I'd like to be able to see you more than just Wed/Thurs. Then again, my schedule is part of the issue too. *sigh* Stupid sleep.
