So my alarm clocks (plural) didn't go off this morning... and I woke up at 11 am. Got ready for work, and arrived a bit after noon.

Now... fast forwards nearly 11 hours and I am still fucking at work.

Shit damn, I needed to commit this shit today.

[Sirus]

I encountered something before that blocked google.  Try going straight to some known antivirus sites too, if those are blocked you might have a problem.

Spoiler: Heres some direct links to some AV sites I know of in case you can't get any searches working (click to show/hide)

*Note that I am not endorsing these (a few of them I actively hate) but I chose them for how well known they are.  These are only provided for convenience.  I am not a spambot.  *Beep Boop*

All except for Norton loaded, though McAfee took a couple of tries while Avast! and MSE would only load the text. I have a full MSE scan running right now, and will be running anti-malware and anti-spyware afterward, though I don't know if they will find anything.

Sirus, check your Proxy settings in all your browsers; if that seems fine, restart (thoguh you're already doing that). Also, you could try switching your DNS settings.

I'm holding off on the restart until my scans are finished; I once restarted without scanning and it took nearly a week to clean out of my system afterward.

I'm not using any proxy on my browser currently (not sure if that's how it's supposed to be or not). The DNS and stuff like that is all set to automatic.

TURBOEDIT: Okay...browsing is working just fine now? O_o;
Things are moving a little more slowly than usual, but all the websites I've tried to visit (including Google and a variety of anti-whatever sites) are loading again.
Still gonna scan everything and restart though.

Spoke too soon, shit's broken again.

THE POKEMON MESSAGE
A seductive vision: to become Pokemon masters
a tempting promise: supernatural power
a new objective: keep collecting Pokemon
an urgent command: "gotta catch them all"

These enticements are drilled into young minds through clever ads, snappy slogans, and the "Pokeman rap" at the end of each TV episode:

"I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokeman to understand
The power that's inside.
Gotta catch them all!"

The last line, the Pokemon mantra, fuels the craving for more occult cards, games, toys, gadgets, and comic books. There's no end to the supply, for where the Pokemon world ends, there beckons an ever-growing empire of new, more thrilling, occult, and violent products. Each can transport the child into a fantasy world that eventually seems far more normal and exciting than the real world. Here, evil looks good and good is dismissed as boring.

I was just going to post that quote, but then I read more, shit be crazy.

"What does 'summon' mean?" he asked his mother after school one day.

"Summon? Why do you ask?"

He told her that during recess on the playground the children would "summon" the forces on the cards they collect by raising sticks into the air and saying, "'Spirits enter me.' They call it 'being possessed.'"

Strange as it may sound to American ears, demonic possession is no longer confined to distant lands. Today, government schools from coast to coast are teaching students the skills once reserved for the tribal witchdoctor or shaman in distant lands. Children everywhere are learning the pagan formulas for invoking "angelic" or demonic spirits through multicultural education, popular books, movies, and television. It's not surprising that deadly explosions of untamed violence suddenly erupt from "normal" teens across our land.

Occult role-playing games teach the same dangerous lessons. They also add a sense of personal power and authority through personal identification with godlike superheroes. Though the demonic realm hasn't changed, today's technology, media, and multicultural climate makes it easier to access, and harder than ever to resist its appeal.

in the realm of popular role-playing games - whether it's Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, or other selections -- the child becomes the master. As in contemporary witchcraft, he or she wields the power. Their arm, mind, or power-symbol (the pokemon or other action figure) become the channel for the spiritual forces. Children from Christian homes may have learned to say, "Thy will be done," but in the role-playing world, this prayer is twisted into "My will be done!" God, parents, and pastors no longer fit into the picture fantasized by the child.

a classmate gave him one of the magic cards, which he showed his mother. It was called "Soul exchange" and pictured spirits rising from graves. Like all the other cards in this ghastly game, it offered a morbid instruction: "Sacrifice a white creature."

If you share my concerns, you may want to follow these suggestions. They will help you equip your child with the awareness needed to resist occult entertainment:

1. First, look at God's view of contemporary toys, games and cartoons. As a family, read Scriptures and compare them with the values encouraged by Pokemon and other role-playing games.

2. Share your observations. Spark awareness in a young child with comments such as, "That monster looks mean!" or "That creature reminds me of a dragon," along with "Did you know that in the Bible, serpents and dragons always represent Satan and evil?"

3. To teach young children a Biblical attitude toward evil before they learn to delight in gross, ugly characters, make comments such as, "Who would want to play with that evil monster? I don't even like to look at him. Let's find something that makes us feel happy inside."

4. Model wise decision-making. Tell your child why you wouldn't want to buy certain things for yourself.

After hearing God's warning and praying for His wisdom, nine-year-old Alan Brannan decided to throw away all his Pokemon cards. "My friend did the same," said his mother. "Her twelve year old son had been having nightmares. But after a discussion with his parents about the game and its symbols, he was convicted to burn his cards and return his Gameboy game. That night slept well for the first time in a month."

so, Alan Brannan's Mothers friend also collected pokemon cards it seems.

"It seemed to us that these cards had some sort of power," continued DiAnna Brannan. "Another nine-year-boy had stolen money from his mother's purse ($7.00) to buy more cards. When questioned, he confessed and said he had heard the devil urging him to do it. The family quickly gathered in prayer, then saw God's answer. Both the boy and his little sister burned their cards, warned their friends, and discovered the joy and freedom that only comes from following their Shepherd.

it just keeps going on and on...

heres your problem, you used some horrid scans to clean out hijacked stuff that since they are highly known, its easy for the malware to dodge the scan.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/
if first link failed to installhttp://www.malwarebytes.org/products/chameleon/
http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/eek/
do FULL SCAN
possible you might have a rootkit in the system. http://support.kaspersky.com/5350 try running this after the AV scans (note if this is blocked we even got a longer list of shit on this computer that you might as well wipe out)

these known scanners that are able to install on highly infected systems, just requires a Safe mode with Networking.

So, Squid can fly now, apparently.

And if all else, fails, you have to pull out the combofix. It's effective, but a little bit risky. Also, check your browser addons.

Yeah, it's a really old bug that happens when a squid forgets it's supposed to constrain itself to water blocks and just floats away.

[Skyrunner]

So... fractal water.


The blue stuff is water, unsurprisingly. The weird part is that it flows uphill in a perfect Sierpinski triangle.

Siiigh.

I would pay so many dollars to see actual water do that just once.

Does anyone else find the sheep analogy annoying? Who the hell would ever want to be a *sheep* of all things? I'd much rather be a wolf than a sheep.
