Arma virumque cano...

Yep. I am almost definitely doing Virgil's Aeneid, owing to its epic-ness, latin background, and the fact that I can make some sense of it.

Today is weird. Actually, potentially dangerous. 3pm - oh !@#$ we have a virus, wth I can't open taskmgr.exe??? Uh-oh...

5-hours later...

YES TAKE THAT VIRUS/MALWARE VICTORY IS MINE

I have completely lost faith in Norton Antivirus. Not only does it not detect the virus, it does absolutely nothing even when I tune it to 'aggressive' mode in windows safe mode. In the end, I had to look up conflicting guides and delete several registry keys, and random hidden folders. I am definitely installing Ubuntu Linux when the new one comes out...



The virus is a little old in terms of age, idk how I got the initial Trojan, the malware thing calls itself "Antivirus Suite", it is probably the most tame one to attack my computer, imo.

LINUX RULES! A new Long Term Support version of Ubuntu is coming :D

I've just proved anti-virus software useless in real scenarios :|
