beavis and butt-head butt-files $.50 (this isnt written by mike judge so it kinda sucks)

mcafee+adobe 1 , me 0

compn — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 22:13:59 +0000

someone asked me to about his computer, said it was unresponsive. it seems
that someone unwittingly installed mcafee security scan plus from an
adobe flash update. it was installed on top of regular mcafee security scan. somehow this disabled both scanners and slowed the computer to a crawl.

http://forums.adobe.com/message/3375787

because the newer plus version was installed, the old mcafee would
update ok, but opening the mcafee security center would say all programs installed (ver 8) were outdated (ver 11 was available because of the stupid plus version). it was unable to ‘fix’ the problem by clicking the ‘fix’ button.

opening security scan plus , it says ‘status: unknown’ for all of its services. there is no way to configure it or change anything. what am i doing wrong? googling for ‘status unknown’ isnt getting me any answers.

i uninstalled the old mcafee and then the computer got faster. after googling some i see that ‘mcafee security scan plus’ isnt actually a virus scanner. what have i done?? i uninstalled ‘mcafee security scan’
because i thought ‘mcafee security scan plus’ was an updated
anti-virus. i dont have any of the registration info to reinstall it.
FUCK YOU MCAFEE.

well back to installing AVG free i guess. oh theres microsoft security essentials too.

fucking adobe can install anything they want. beware.

ahh, someone else noticed adobe doing this too: http://brandonpotter.wordpress.com/2010/10/21/dear-adobe-this-is-not-okay/

bizjournal predicts the future

compn — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 03:12:38 +0000

look at image 3/10.

i’ve reuploaded it here for the future!

strata 7.6 sbx waterbed

compn — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 01:55:28 +0000

ok, if you ever come across a 20 year old waterbed that has a fill hole on the top, the hole on the bottom is just a drain hole. no need to try to fill it from there too.

since the company went under, i had to look at the patents to figure out what the hell it was.

windows vista what are you doing?

compn — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 21:40:48 +0000

i hate it when windows does things without my permission automatically.

i’m sitting here and all of a sudden my harddrive sounds like its cranking away at full power. why is it doing this? as soon as i touch the mouse it stops again. i look at task manager and see nothing interesting.

goddamn it i hate it when windows HIDES from me. i know you’re up to no good. just tell me what the fuck you were doing and i’ll stop it.

ok ok, i’ll run filemon until it happens again.

find out its ntfsdefrag… oh, an automatic defrag program, how quaint. i thought ntfs by default didnt get fragmented? oh , that was MS propaganda. more good news.
http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=71

disabling windows vista automatic defrag seems easy enough. control panel > performance information and tools > advanced tools > open disk defragmenter > uncheck run on a schedule.

it was scheduled for 1am, but was running at 5pm. damn lying operating system.
