i feel so dirty

i have a virus

no idea how i got it since i never open odd attachments from random folks...

but it looks like i have at least 700 emails in my inbox.... lovely -

so i contacted aol to see what they could do about it... nothing - had to install their mcafee virus thing and when i did it caused my stinking pc to not want to start up...

so from there i called dell... oh so frickin' helpful... eh... no.

i spoke with "joey" with the thickest accent i thought i ever heard - until i asked to speak to his supervisor "gino" who made "joey" sound like he was broadcasting on the bbc...

anyway - they told me that i had to send my computer out to drivesavers (whatever the hell that is) and they would reformat everything for me...

they weren't listening to me... i explained again, hey this is what happened - virus, installed blahbitty blah, and.... they cut me off "meeez, you mes go drivesaahrs, call dem no us"

eh... so at that point, my inbox was flooding, i wasn't able to reboot anything and i was being shoved aside and told i had to send my machine away!?!?

eh.... the eff-bomb was dropped...

i think my quote before hanging up (and have you noticed how dissatifying hanging up on a cordless phone is?).... my quote to them was:

"F*CK YOU! F*CK YOU! F*CK YOU! GO TAKE A FLYING F*CK AT THE MOON CALL YOURSELF DELL SUPPORT? REAL F*CKING HELPFUL!!!"

*click*

damned cordless... so, i had to press down on "talk" with my thumb really hard a few times to get the full growly effect out of my system

then i went online again - figured out how to start the effing pc in safe mode (F8 when the keyboard lights up - for all of you who aren't privy to the secret) and wound up uninstalling the virus thing aol told me to install... voila! i was able to reboot normally

granted - i am still getting the damned virus emails though... but i installed a firewall and all that crap.


now i am going to sleep.
