idk

Either way this thing's getting wiped.

[Lance Masayoshi]

It'll be worth it.

All my shit is saved on flash drives, sooooo

lol

Yeah, wiping a computer is the best way to go

[ZemZem]

lol

It'll be like starting anew.

[Lance Masayoshi]

im sure that it just wipes viruses and things you download

other than that programs will still be there

[ZemZem]

As long as things run smoothly again.

If you manage to figure out what kind of adware you got, you might be able to remove it by force. The simple kinds can simply be deleted if you know where they are. The more malicious ones some antivirus software and/or anti-malware programs can deal with, but most of those aren't free.

Wiping your hard drive will definitely work, but I would only resort to doing that if you really can't figure out how to get rid of the adware.

Depends on your hard drive.

If you have several virtual drives, then yeah, wiping only the system drive will leave the other ones untouched. If the virus is not on that system drive, however, you'll have to wipe the other ones as well.

I'll try asking my mom when she gets home, since this is her computer.

If she doesn't, then my dad will try getting this to Best Buy tomorrow to get its hard drive wiped.

Which is why I said pretty sure

I know that my computer has multiple drives so my applications are there so

[ZemZem]

Enoshima-san if this works I will forever be your despair-induced lackey.

[Lance Masayoshi]

oh my

[Komeiji Koishi]

[Lance Masayoshi]

despair induced butt monkey you mean

[Junk]

hmm well lets hope it works.

[Komeiji Koishi]

here's hoping it doesn't

[ZemZem]

silly kalas

This is really trippy.

[Junk]

oh right ZM while you're doing the scan has it caught anything yet?

[--------------------]

Oh wait Aki, do you use the Vsync patch for EoSD?

you can change the game's resolution with that too :v that's the only way i know at least

No, I dont have the Vsync patch. I only have the hitbox patch.

[Komeiji Koishi]

No, I dont have the Vsync patch. I only have the hitbox patch.

Rejoice.

You'll need to get applocale to use Vsync on TH6, but that isn't too costly.

[Emeraldfox]

I wonder how the screens are too small, and where did Kantai Collection come from.

[ZemZem]

oh right ZM while you're doing the scan has it caught anything yet?

Mmmhmm.

[Fera]

send me a screenshot of the ads or whatever I love nuking me some adware

(after malwarebytes scan)

[ZemZem]

Of course. Once I have time, though.

Today's the day of Comiket. 72 hours remain until maximum boredom returns.
