Wednesday, November 18 2009 - Viruses

Spent yesterday evening and this morning trying to get rid of two horrible viruses on my laptop.

I want to practice my Chinese by downloading Chinese-language movies, so I found some on torrent websites. Too bad they came with the uninvited guests mentioned above.

For a while there I thought I was going to have to wipe my whole hard-disk and reinstall Windows. The viruses didn’t let me open any programs that might remove them, like anti-virus software or windows safe mode reboot. Luckily there was one thing on the internet called Malwarebyte that removed that block, after which I could sic my other programs after them.
