Ok I wanted to share this when the people of the community, many of you may have noticed I haven't been on or posting as much actually I kind of came to a dead halt. But there is a reason, no it's not that I'm have become a parent, and it isn't because I've been abducted by aliens, yet. But I had a virus and a worm that someone burrowed deep into my system and started ripping it apart from the inside.
I was browsing the internet and my firewall was down. When I saw something odd "Analitic-check.google" instead of the normal connecting to google.com message on FireFox. i thought nothing of it until I searched something and tried to click on a link. I was taken to an advertisment page. Thought the link was a flop tried it again, taken to another advertisement. I was baffled not really experiencing a virus on my computer for it's lifespan of eight years. So I saw that FireFox and Internet Explorer both had this problem. Something was up. I checked around even though my browsers was slowing down and found that it's a nasty worm. That is not seen or detected and has fooled even the best virus scans. The only way to difuse it MalwareBytes, so i went to their to download the Malware Scan program that had seen to help many. I also checked alot of places not just one but it seems teh worm kne what I was doing and wouldn't allow me to connect to the site.
So for the last week and a half I've working beside my mom trying to fix this, but als I ad to admit defeat. So my mom calloed DELL and we are upgrading teh memory to 1 GB from 256 MB for various reasons and most likely wiping the harddrive clean and killing those little suckers. So I have to transfer my game files onto a flashdrive so I don't lose them and even now teh virus is sleeping and has allowed me to type my story.

That sucks.
I just bought a brand new 8GB datakey. Incidently, I have my games backed up on it, my old 1GB and old 256mb datakeys, uploaded here on RMN and on my last backup CD.

Format and reinstall is usually the easiest way of wiping out viruses and worms. The only problem is when people keep important data on their Windows partition (which almost everyone does). Also never turn off your firewall unless you know exactly what you are doing, and even then its best to have one. The Internet is a dangerous place!
And 256MB of RAM is awful.
