Why did Microsoft send me a computer virus?

[samoth]

What 3rd party anti-virus software are you using, and is it updated?
If your pc never froze up before doing the MS updates I'd call or email them and get them to fix it.
...Unless you were still using XP service pack 1 when you tried doing the update...you need service pack 2 for them to work.

The computer freezing might not have been related. I don't know. The MS thing was from MS themselves, and isn't technically a virus.

THIS is the "virus": http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/

All it is is a 2-hour repeating popup saying "Your version of MS might not be validated". (Read: give us money for your copied version of MS.)

I managed to delete two WGA.dll and .exe files that *so far* seem to eliminate the 2-hour repeating popup, but not the x-second wait upon startup. My computer won't let me delete the two additional files, and I don't know if or how they're interconnected, so messing with the files is probably out.

There are some spyware and small viruses that are always on my pc no matter how many times I try to delete them (any variety of the "...32.exe" for example). I do use a router now though, so that might help pad my interwebs security from all the bs out there.

Also, update to service pack 2 for XP if you haven't already done so; that might also help.

Spybot, that's the one I was trying to think of. Yeah, the system32 dll files are a bitch and usually buried in the registry keys, as is one that I just found earlier today.

I don't think anything will fix the MS WGA virus without digging in the keys.

If I ever got a laptop it would be a Mac Powerbook.

Bro, I got the 17" Macbook Pro. It does everything but jerk me off. A bit of a learning curve..but just smooth and solid. It has a mind of it's own...it almost knows what I want to do.

Mac = The hottest woman alive, perfect body in white thigh highs, see thru thong licking whipped cream off of her fingers seductively, and then looking you dead in the eyes, asking : "Will you please FUCK me?"

Windows = Bag lady with her whole life in a shopping cart asking you for a dime.

If Mac got into the videogame industry they'd probably dominate. At least quality-wise. Although Nintendo has a good quality track record, as well as the PS3 so far.

Now that Mac is using the Intel chips...all KINDS of software companies are chomping at the bit to write new software for the Mac.

I'm telling you guys...Mac is gonna eat Microsoft alive.

Goodnight Bill...AND your faggot blue screen lol...I'll dump my physical memory in your skinny ass mother fucker.
