Ahem.

So, over the weekend, my computer gt totally wiped by a nasty virus.

After watching that awesome dance to No Air by Jordin Sparks et al (on So You Think You Can Dance), I bittorrented the song off Isohunt. And some joker had rigged the file so that when you played the song this virus (disguised as spyware) executed. It then proceded to start disabling everything on my computer. To the point where when I tried to restart my computer hoping that it would get better, Windows couldn't boot.

When Windows could boot, it didn't show any icons and when you tried to click around it took your mouse pointer away and made beepy noises at you.

In the event that it did show icons, it didn't let you access your hard drive.

So I drove over to Anthony's at some ridiculous time of the night and we backed up stuff that we could and reformatted the whole thing.

And so now I have to start from scratch. How fun. :(
