Teen Tech

1)  I get completely and utterly annoyed.  I may start to yell and scream.  Virus = Bad, and I got one.

2)  I go all bounty hunter on the little pest.  I start going through system logs, look at running processes, go through the startup objects on the computer looking for anything out of the ordinary and DELETE it.  This phase may require going into Safe Mode (F8 at startup).

3)  If all else fails, I go to my tools that I keep locked in a vault for safekeeping, because nowadays, the only way to keep any software, data, and random bits of information safe is to keep it as far away from a computer as possible.  At this point, I’m ready to throw the PC out the window and run over it with a car, and I do have experience in running things over.

Well, I’ve got a virus right now.  I not nice one that pops up a balloon notification in the lower right of the screen saying “Your computer is infected!” (you can’t forget the exclamation point.  It makes it all better!) and it wants me to download some more software, which is probably a virus itself to “get rid” of it, when actually it lies dormant in the far depths of my hard drive.

Well, Off I go to fix this blasted thing.
