And here folks is a bad way to end a Monday. After trying to check my email at Yahoo, my anti-virus software Avast popped up a red warning window telling me about a virus. Not good. And this was true for every website I tried to visit. I closed the browser and went to the Avast program to do a scan and within the first 30 seconds it had found 273 infected files. FCUK. I stopped it and it suggested restarting so it could scan before starting Windows and that is when I knew that it would never start again.

The scan ran all night putting what looked like every .htm (web) file into the quarantine and this morning it finally finished and surprisingly did start Windows. Except that it now says that it is not a genuine Microsoft version. Of course it is. Stupid thing. So probably all of my software is now messed up and I get to waste a lot of time fixing it.

But...this is what makes me terribly pissed. After checking some forums, I found out that there in fact was no virus. It was Avast that messed up their definition file so it thought that there was a virus. If I had clicked update instead of scan, I would still have a functioning computer. Bastards.
