what the aff
Saturday, 14th Oct, 2006Somewhere in Asia,
Operation Dieadware
we were under heavy bombardment. amidst all the haze, we started retaliating against the adware...
first i tried to use ad-aware to remove the adware files. after a long time of scanning, i found out i can't delete them. why? cause you can't delete active files!! if its not active, why would i want to delete it?!
next i tried to download hijackthis to close the active programs so i can remove then. went to google and keyed in hijackthis and hey! where did my firefox window go? tried with ie, same thing happened. seems like adwares are getting pretty advanced. so got ackerley to send me hijackthis. then realised i couldn't open the winzip file. so went to right-click on the file to unzip it. and then realised that i can't bloody run hijackthis! so went into safemode and ran it. closed the active programs and ran ad-aware to delete most of the adwares. wheee! finally they are gone!
restarted computer, and what the aff?! the popups are still appearing. so went to download spybot and ran it. while scanning, i thought maybe cause my zonealarm firewall died some time back so my com very vulnerable so went to dl the zonealarm suite. wow! it comes with an anti-virus too! so conveniently went to do a virus scan. results were really astonishing, there were 2000+ infected files! all this while i had mcaffee protection on! WHAT THE AFF?! how did 2000+ files on my com get infected while mcaffee did/said/knew nothing? even the mcaffee files were infected -_-
die, i see system files infected which cannot be cleaned. who has windows xp cd to lend me? though so far no popups has appeared since i restarted my com (a calm before a storm?)
my heart goes out to all the applications which died during the course of the war, namely spywareblaster (now renamed spywareblasted), mcaffee (executed personally by yours truly), googletalk and numerous other files which have fallen to the dark side.
i would like to thank all those which stuck with me through the entire battle, even though i would probably eventually lose the war as many of the key players have already fallen into their hands, namely ad-aware (fired from army), spybot, zonealarm and hijackthis.
affed up.
