You think that's bad?

My home computer had an unfortunate accident when my sister's boyfriend decided to use Internet Explorer on it (even though Mozilla was the default, who knows how he even found IE with what I've done with that system). It got so bad that I had to tell them to turn it off (in case of dialers) and wait till I had time on the weekend to clean it up.

I wanted to get here, clean it, and head back to school real quick. I spent 5 hours cleaning that sucker, much of it manually because a bunch of junk wasn't classified as malware but I still didn't want it there.

Now IE is even more hidden on the system, ActiveX is completely disabled excluding for windowsupdate.com, and I've barred him from installing programs on the computer.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
