I just opened a 4lb thing of Jelly Bellys.
What now?
Nostrils. Ear canals. Et cetera. One of my favorite things about going to HP (and not IBM) is that TCCC uses Lotus Notes. The one email system that manages to be fucking worse than outlook You obviously have not used groupwise.

I just wanted to drop in here and say that the orange tuxedo was the single best clothing purchase I have ever made. I have no idea who this girl is. The girl in this one is the incredible wife that let me go out in public dressed like Lloyd. Right, I was dressed as Lloyd, but some people didn't know that. I was also called "Pimp!" or "Pimp Daddy!" when on the street, as well as "Dumendumer" and "Willy Wonka". My favorite, however, was the girl who called me "Ace Ventura". That was awesome.

I stopped using them a few years ago when I noticed wonky shit on my own.. and I'm not a computer professional. Items missed on scans that other software caught, random deletion files, bloated memory-hog behavior, random reboots of my work system. I feel for those who are still using it, though.

I would like to generalize that to "fuck anti-virus." In most cases of anti-virus software, I'd rather have e-herpes. Atleast herpes is dependable. It's yours for life.

We got rid of McAffee department wide just last month. There were a few stragglers out there today, including the Chair's laptop, which seem severely hosed, even after the rollback.

Apply the 5959xdat.exe, boot into safe mode, copy "svchosts.exe" from "\windows\servicepackfiles\i386\" to "\windows\system32" and "\windows\system32\dllcache". You may have to be sneaky and do things like launch a command prompt through ctrl-alt-del -> taskmanager -> run, and use copy instead of dragging and dropping, but it's pretty simple for the most part. Well, once you figure that out. I would like to generalize that to "fuck anti-virus." In most cases of anti-virus software, I'd rather have e-herpes. Atleast herpes is dependable.

There's a very specific reason to hate them today. This fuck-up is going to seriously hurt the company.

Glad I didn't take them up on that free 30 day trial for my new system, 1st thing I did was uninstall it.

Ya, we did all that, and got the system back up and running. Unfortunately, after that, Sophos AntiVirus, the University's new AV, wouldn't install. We ended up giving the Chair Avast! instead, which is what my boss and I use at home anyway.

 Avast. Hate that they changed the voice. I much preferred Microsoft Sam.

She is videoing me being photographed. Once I get the video off of the camera, I want to Youtube it. She and the others walked behind be down the street so they could see and video the reactions of people I passed, but we managed to miss a lot because you can't just run a camera constantly. Everyone loved that suit, and I was only whacked in the back of the legs once.

Yeah. Since I got my new work computer with Win 7 on it, McAfee started absolutely dominating my PC once per day when it decided to update itself. Instead of doing so right after reboot before I got started working on anything, it chose to do it about 15 minutes after with no warning. No matter what I was doing, the computer would absolutely lock up, not allowing me to do anything until it was done.

Huh. We have McAfee where I work, too. Haven't heard of any issues, nor am I experiencing any.

 Avast. Switched to it at work 2 years ago when SAV Corporate bloated to over 128MB of memory required. At the time, the average desktop in the company was a P3-1Ghz with 256MB. Evaluated McAfee and it was worse. AVG was great until an update that bloated it to SAV levels. Avast uses about a third of that, is very responsive, and has only had one minor issue with it since deployment (awkward minor version upgrade). Well worth the money.

I used Nod32 until my 2 year license ran out, threw on Avast! until I could bother to reup, and ended up sticking with Avast!
I'd been happy with Avira on the second machine, until the fucking popups started even on the paid version. Pigfuckers.

And in other news, I am now unemployed. That's my thanks for introducing the office to Avast, I guess.

Just got hit with ave.exe (yea, I was looking up scene releases, whatever).
Don't go to scenereleases.info anymore, if you do that is, because their shit is jacked.
Anyway, it's an invasive assy piece of malware and now I'm doing a full scan which is going to take _forever_ over 7 harddrives. Bleh.
