My computer just took a huge dump
« on: July 05, 2010, 09:58:17 pm »

I was browsing the internet just a few minutes ago like any good boy or girl would these days. All of sudden my PC started churning around on the inside. I thought to myself, "Must be AVG updating again." I check my TM to make sure. I click the process tab and; I don't see any AVG utilities doing any work. Instead I see explorer.exe sucking up all of my computer's resources. I close FF to help speed things up. A minute or two later, I am completely shocked, completely!










I believe it listed fifty-three tabs worth of IE. I'm not sure what to make of it. Besides of course that my computer just took a huge fucking shit!

Comments?

Why IE?

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Your computer needs to be regulated.

You scanned with what? Shit doesn't just run spontaneously. Something is causing ie to open multiple instances. Most likely candidate is a virus or malware, or some kind of popup that keeps spawning more popups.

Less likely? IE is corrupted and in league with satan.

Something's strange. Notice the "provided by Cox Communication"?

Do you have Cox by any chance Creamcorn?

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Kill it with fire! Also, this is IE, you kind of have to deal with these things.

Right now I'm just trying to track down where the last remnants of IE exists on my hard drive.

If that's true, I'll need to hire a priest.

Yes, I do, it was that or Verizon. Those two companies run a dualopoly here in RI.

That's one of the reasons why I switched.

Dude, that looks exactly like the kind of thing a spambot would put out. Kudos.

Also, practically anything is better than AVG, so if you're running that, cast it to the winds and get something else.
