I've lost it for over a week now, fortunately my mom let me use her laptop from time to time so I can still fulfill my wicked addiction of newgrounds. Although I've no games on this laptop so all I've got is the internet.

What's wrong with my actual computer is that it has a shitload of viruses all over it that crawl in my windows system files and fuck it up good. This made my keyboard stop functioning so I can only use my mouse. For some reason it suddenly stopped detecting my second harddisk (The one my Steam games are on) So I can also forget about those. And on the top of everything it fails to connect to the internet as well, even though it should be able to do so.

Someone I know is taking a look at it since last week thursday (the 12th). I sure do hope he can fix it all cause I've got a week off school now and I really don't feel like reading comics and watching TV all day while I have the greatest video games history has ever brought about but can't use them.

Any gentle remarks to comfort me, newgrounds? :3

So you have any games with SecuRom? That can fuck your comp up bad. It's a disc 'protection' that can come with newer games.

Last time I checked SecuRom won't fuck up your computer like that. For one, it's not a virus.

Well I've never heard of it so I'm pretty sure I'm safe from that one.
I hope I get my pc back all fixed up as soon as possible. :(

I've lost a computer and I suspect it was due to it, and others have said they too have had thier computers fucked. It is possible, but yes, could still be a virus - I just suspected SecuRom due to the death of the Disc Drive.

The one moment you can prove SecuRom fucks up your computer, you can sue them for millions. The reason you can't, is because it doesn't. It's just some weird way of securing discs for piracy reasons. Too bad Razor or something already cracked the newest SecuRom.

Well, there ARE 5 lawsuits currently filed against EA for SecuRom and damages caused by it...

Nope, hope he gets it fixed though, be sure to install an overflow of antivirus/antispyware/firewalls on it whenever you get it back so it doesn't happen once more. :P

Thanks. I called the guy who was looking at it and judging by what he was saying it's fixable. I hope I'll get it back tomorrow!

I had to buy a new power charger for my laptop last week. Cost me eighty bucks. I really wanted to save up some money for a few trips this year too. But I can't live without the internet.

If all you have is a virus and you don't mind losing all your documents, just reformat it with your restore CDs.

That's already the plan. I hope it works, my first hard drive contains 5 years of history from and about me. Wouldn't wanna lose it all.

Also movies, games, stories, data, chatlogs...

You really ought to get anti-virus software. It protects your computer from this kind of event happening in the first place. Right now I use the free version of AVG, which works pretty well.

You think I don't have that? Well not AVG anymore in particular, but I've got some good shit. I just don't run scans and accept certain things a little too fast cause I can't be arsed to wait for a billion year file safety check.

Especially over MSN, not that any viruses hid there before that I know of.

It's very easy to back everything up, and I'm sure the guy who will fix your PC will do that. Just insert a rescue CD, pop an external HD in your PC and copy all your files to that external HD. After that, format your PC, reinstall Windows and use the backup to place everything back again.

Lots of viruses? Stop downloading:
'Free' porn (Nothing is free, dumbass)
Keygens (Isn't that obvious enough?)
Limewire Songs (Only noobs use Limewire)
