No, I'm not talking about the ones in my mouth. I'm talking about this convenient technology called the
Bluetooth. I bought the adaptor to convenience my file transfers from my handphone to the PC and vice versa a few days ago and it has been giving me a really big headache.
Computers really have a thing against me.
I remembered having troubles with my Macintosh back at the time when I had one. "Changing to a PC might save me all the trouble." I thought naively to myself.
Yeah right. In my dreams.
Anyways, Windows XP Service Pack 2 decided that it didn't like the new kid on the block (my Bluetooth adaptor) and thus screwed up my driver installation process.
Computers are evil, I tell you.
And since my computer was cranking up at that point of time, I decided to reformat it and try installing the drivers again.
It worked.
The bad part was that in my eagerness to install the new drivers, I had failed to install any protection in my computer. Bad move on my part.
NEVER,
NEVER, EVER try to get online without your anti-virus and firewall protection.
In less than half an hour, my whole computer was infested with these little buggers and vermins. The situation got so serious that my browsers became fucked up. Even connection to game servers became impossible.
My computer started lagging like hell. I had to forcefully shut it down umpteen times before it worked again.
It ended up with me reformatting the computer
again. That took a freaking 2 hours.
Thousands of computers world-wide die from infestations of spywares, adwares, trojans and other unknown viruses every second. Please, spare a thought for your computer. Get protection TODAY.I'd hate to complain, but my camera phone lags like hell. The resolution isn't that awesome, but the phone sure is pretty to look at. Expect photos within the next few posts... if I feel like taking any.
Farewell my Nokia 3200. I'll miss you.
