Inactivity.


[color=red]So some of you (Probably no one), have probably been wondering where I have been. Well. I'll just get into details. I had a family member pass Saturday (Please. No condolences. I need no sympathy, we knew this was going to happen a long way before it actually occurred.) My computer is out of commission. Basically, my grandfather clicked a link to a webpage he shouldn't have, and caused a executable file to download, open on it's own, let the virus spread and lock my computer, and break through my virus protection. Read next post for warning.

[color=blue]Let me give this warning to you all. For those who decide to go and watch the lewd and things on the 18+ adult sites. Do not click any ad or follow any directory to anything. Look at whatever you went to see. Then move the hell along. Do not follow any offers that may be "funny" or "interesting." If you are on skype and you get something along the lines of this. "OMG is this you? bit.ly/234[yourskypeusername]2bfy" ANYTHING along the lines of a suspicious link. DO. NOT. CLICK IT. EMAILS TOO. IF YOU CHECK YOUR E-MAIL. DO NOT CLICK SUSPICIOUS LINKS. Your virus protection, no matter how good. Will NOT see this as a threat and be VERY, VERY mistaken. This virus bypasses your virus protection, locks up your computer. It is detailed as an "FBI Virus." Basically. You have this window pop up. Demanding you give anything between $100 to $400 via MoneyPak Greencard. Or they will send your IP address, service provider, location, and any other info to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the illegal possession of [I'm not saying it so don't ask me what it is.] It's the scariest thing if you have NO clue what it is. and there is no way to fix it yourself except the temporary way. DO NOT PAY THE DEMAND PRICE. That should be first knowledge. Because it may make things worse.
