Viruses Virus’ Viri Viruses suck. On Tuesday evening, things started to go a little funky with my computer. I couldn’t search on Google, access Facebook, and I kept getting loads of pop ups or sent to scamsites. Yeah, it was pretty frustrating. But hurrah! SpyBot – Search & Destroy, the most brilliant of all programs, has saved my computer. It found 121 problems not recognised by McAfee. ZOMFG! I’m finding myself randomly checking Google, just be sure it’s still working. Hopefully, it’ll continue to keep working.

Update: Predictably, the virus struck back. We lost the battle, but we will not lose the war.

My traumatic event has also woken me up to the fact that I really need to start backing things up. A job for my day off tomorrow methinks.

In other news, my brother got sick of waiting for me to buy Batman Begins and bought the DVD himself. He also bought Tomb Raider: Anniversary for the Wii, and it’s awesome. Reminds me of Angel of Darkness, but in a non-crappy, “my arms feel stronger now” kind of way. I also bought a Gamecube (Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?) from work for the low, low price of £4.98. And that definitely isn’t a typo, wait… is it?, nope – definitely not a typo. In truth, I only bought it to get the controller to use on my brothers Wii (for Brawl and Mario Kart), as it was cheaper than just buying a controller separately. Sometimes I love working where I work, but this feeling usually passes fairly quickly.

Other Stuff:

• I just checked Google again – it’s still working.
• The built-in dictionary for Firefox would like me to change “Gamecube” to “Gamecock”. To be fair, the latter is probably more accurate.
