In Finland Microsoft said that there is a security problem with IE, machine can get hijacket. I updated XP manually.
Good that it wasn't any bad virus.

Someone I know with a lot more experience on computers than me says this:
-Never use original software because pirate software runs better and never ever let windows update itself (even with a legal copy)...
Truth be said that the man rarely has any trouble with his computer despite the fact that he uses Windows XP.
However I think this is more due to his knowing several Windows tricks and tweaks rather than anything else.

microsoft's windows suck big time... i was away for a couple of days and my "future x-wife" used the computer and she permitted windows to update cause "it asked me to do so and u know that there are many viruses on the web..." the total outcome is that despite i can't play (long story related to fast cars and drunk drivers) I can hardly use the computer... after windows downloaded the 'updates' a nice red text appeared that the system is infected with adware... so she tried to 'heal' it... outcome?? when I came back home I downloaded some software and dealt with most of the problems (trojans, worms, malware... u say it i had it...) yet, at least i have lots of free time to take care of system ^_^ anyhow, with great pain fr3sh is signing off... i'll drop from time to time and in 4/5 weeks time, prepare to wreck havoc |
