Also, where is DeckHeadTottie when you need him most :(

People, don't be all stressed.
Here's what you should do, go to your task manager, and look for any foreign or exotic sounding processes. Better yet, make a screenie.
That way, we can compare multiple victims and find the process that'd doing all of this.

As for the people who have downloaded it, but have not yet restarted their computer, DO NOT RESTART, IMMEDIATELY USE SYSTEM RESTORE. Deleting the file won't help, since it's already 'active'.

Oh, and also, "Type msconfig in run and then go to the startup tab here you can select which programs you want enabling and which you want to be disabled from starting up."
Deselect any program that is unfamiliar to you. BUT FIRST, make a screenie of the programs that start at the boot of windows XP, or VIsta. You don't want to randomly deselect processes, since some are necessary. As for Kuro and others, PM Wade, he can always double check it if it was you, and he can reset the password and the email. But that won't be of any help though, first, get rid of the virus/keylogger. PM me for more help, if needed.

Oh, so that's what you want to know.
Basically, for an entertainment system, you mean playing games? Or playing movies and music with absolute quality?

For games, I think this:
Either an Intel Core2 Duo E6600 (2x2.4Ghz)
Or a similar AMD X2

2GBs of DDR2 RAM (you don't need more than 4GB, since the normal version of XP, not the 64bit version, doesn't support more than 3.7GB of RAM) Or more, of course.

400/500GB HDD, not that expensive, it's just what you want.

A 9600GT, nVidia, great card low cost, so it's ULTIMATE.

For great quality sound, I will suggest you the Creative SB X-FI Xtreme Audio. It's a really, really neat card, and it gives you great sound.

And basically, a 450Watts power supply unit will be enough.

Lol, not quite.

As for all the nubs in this thread, basically, any computer can run windows XP. Even P3 computers. As long as the amount of Mhz is high enough, it should be run well enough. I don't think anyone has a computer that isn't able to run windows XP.

I don't know what else you want to know, though.

that doesn't make him a new BBR. BBR had cool lock posts, I've not seen many by ELP yet though.

You are so banned, lol.

I'm sorry, but this thread is going downhill.
Let's just get an objective view.

The 4870:
Memory Type GDDR5
Memory Size(MB) 512
Memory Interface 256bit
Core Clock Speed(MHz) 750
Memory Clock Speed(MHz) 1800

The 8800GT:
core clock 600Mhz
memory clock 1800MHz
memory type
512MB GDDR3 256bit

You decide for yourself.
People saying you should take a 9800 are wrong, since the 8800 overpowers the 9800. At least the ones I saw, maybe not the superclocked ones.

Instructions on how to remove it if you have it.

Seriously, it 'doesn't sound like he is infected with XP antivirus 2008'.
There are loads, and I mean loads of viruses that do such a thing. So, the chance of him having XP antivirus isn't that big. Never heard of it, btw, but whatever.

Oh shut the fuck up, faggo-

I don't want us both to get banned :)

Seriously though, OP should do what I said.

Sounds like you has a problem.

First things first, either post a print-screen of your task manager (Ctrl+alt+delete), or check for programs running on the background that sounds exotic (things you think they don't sound right).

Then, since it is either spyware or really a virus, go download AVG free at free.grisoft.com.
Then, install and let it scan for viruses. ALSO, IMPORTANT, DO NOT ENTER ANY IMPORTAN STUFF ANYWERE, WHATSOEVER. DO NOT EVEN TYPE IT, SINCE IF THIS IS A VIRUS, IT MAY ALSO TRACE YOUR KEYS.

As said before, you also want lavasoft ad-aware, great program. Download, install and let it scan.
As for anything other, download Ccleaner, not necessary, but useful.

Do it, and please send us the printscreen of your task manager.

In the last case, I can say I wish more smoker were like that. The annoying skitzoids who act like pot is the most important thing in their lives are the reason the rest of us responsible smokers have it bad.

So basically you lost control.

Your fault.

Action - reaction.
You take drugs - you lose control of yourself, ending up getting dependant on it. Yeah, you may need to have an addictive personality to get actually addicted to drugs, but too bad, I only know those kind of people. Also, get back when you are not high, although you will probably end up defending it the same way you are doing now, because, in fact, you are a user, and you do not want to see the negative sides on taking drugs.

People, you are all talking about addiction and that sort of things. You are forgetting the actual short-term problems, like the destroying of loads of braincells, which in fact, do not return.

I mean, people who claimed to have done ecstacy, heroin, cocaine and the like, and claim to be not addicted, may not be addicted. But there should be at least a form of difference in your behavior. If you say you smoke pot in a regular basis and do not feel a change of oneself, you are either not paying enough attention, or are already too messed up, since I know what pot does to you. It changes entire personalities, form a hard working student to a fucking sloppy joe.
External people can decide way better if you have changed or not, since you want to believe you haven't changed.

Hey Rage, awesome work. I was just wondering, how hot does the CPU get? When not really using and when hardcore gaming. I mean, it hsa been overclocked to pretty much the max (4x2.6 -> 4x3.4), so I bet it'll get really hot. Is the fan really that good, then?

Fucking awesome. I'll cast a spell on people, and I get to have their penis size? Really awesome.

Learn to read. I already did. It's just that even after the upgrades I have these errors. Or, of course, they're still busy. In that case, get away from this thread!

Every time I see you post, I lose an intelligence point.

Lately, I have been having a lot of server errors. Okay, understandable. However, it has still been happening, even AFTER te MySQL 5 update. I have been thinking, I've had this problem too on youtube. Not a server error, though. But just the site being extremely slow for me.

So, coincidence? Are you plotting something against me? OHMYGODPARANOIDSLADSKJFLKJALGDKJDLGKJLKD GJ

It was part of a prank between Tom and another user. Not sure who it was. Just search for portal vandal, and the result will pop up.

Hmm. You sure there aren't any drivers needed for it to work? (Not that I can think of, anyway).
But what about a uncorrectly connected cable to the battery itself? When did this problem surface? When you installed a new battery? Just spontaneously? If the latter is the case, just bring it to your local Mac seller. That's the only thing that you can do in that case.

Yeah, I know. I was just trolling. However, there seems to be incompatability between your battery and your Mac itself. I don't know how, because you couldn't have done it yourself. Errh, does it do the same when jacked in into your powernet?
