#376- Grahhh

The best part is that all those warnings and stuff aren’t from my antivirus or anything good, they’re from the virus/malware, which wants me to buy its phony antivirus software to “problems” that it itself is causing. I apologize for the quality of this comic, but I had to scan the original and piece it together using whatever dumbass podunk image editing software my parents have on their computer, including Paint. Yes, this was mostly put together with Paint.

This virus on my computer, right, it is some crazy shit, it took some talent to make something that could fuck over a total stranger quite this badly. It blocks me from using the add/remove software thing in the Control Panel. It of course blocks my antivirus. It even blocks the Task Manager. What the hell is this.

Anyway, all that’s left is a total reformat, and since the only windows CD we have that I could track down is scratched beyond usefulness or corrupted for some other reason (I even did the peanut butter/toothpaste etc. thing, but while it did buff out some of the scratches it still didn’t work), and my parents (understandably) don’t want me to do any pirating on their computer, I’m gonna be without my computer for a while until I get one of Brittney’s spare XP CDs in the mail.

So right now I’m saying no update Friday; Check back Monday and hopefully I’ll be back on my feet again and the comic will update unperturbed, and I’ll also upload a less shitty version of this comic, which I swear looks decent in actuality.

    It’s always good for a laugh when these bogus “virus” alerts pop up on my Mac. As if I worry about that stuff anymore.

    Brittney: Thanks babe.

    Ali: Yeahhh it’ll work, I’m still annoyed though.

    qka: Ha, yeah, this is alllllmost enough to make a man consider switching to make, but I’m also dead broke.

    and by “make” I mean “mac.” I’ve been sleeping weird lately.
