have an awesome remaining summer and good luck in the school year etc!

So apparently, I got a computer virus. OHWHUTTTTTTTTT HELL NO. ;__;

TL;DR I got a virus.  Noticed it.  Panicked over 9000. Proceed with caution. Patched it. Now I need to fix another one.


It's true.  I do.  And like, it started from yesterday. (PRETTY SURE) I know my routine and yesterday I only d/l about four songs from 4shared... (COUGHCOUGH) and I only visited sites from my routine (dA, fb, pixiv, google, gaia, etc) and what was strange is thta, my cursor had the "loading" cursor icon.  I thought it was the works of my mp3/usb charger (charging mp3 via computer that day)

So I ignored the problem.  THEN I was browsing dA and ~ALL OF THE SUDDEN~ a pop-up came out.  From the browser of Internet Explorer.  I use Firefox. Then I was like, "wtf?" and those icon loading cursors keeps displaying, so obviously something's not right.

I opened up my Windows Task Manager, to my surprise, a "IEXPLORE.EXE" running about 10-20k.  That's weird, I never had that process before? So I googled it, and it said it was a virus...WTF? AND I was scrolling down my task manager to see any "unknown" processes, and to my surprise, a "loader.exe" was found.  I googled that too, and it said it was a backdoor trojan/virus that leaks out viruses into my PC. AT THIS POINT I'M FREAKING OUT, HOLY SHIETTTT.  I endtasked that bitch like flying colors (loader.exe).  Then I proceed to endtask "IEXPLORE.EXE" but it popped up again -_-" so I started panicking like anyone would! I mean... I need to pay my tuition via credit card and stuff in a few weeks too -_-"


And then I posted a virus removal thread on Gaia Online cuz I have no idea where to post it LOL.  I was gonna spam post this to different sites (basilmarket [I know wtf?], asianfanatics, soompi... yeah)

SO THE TECH GUY HELPED ME. I had to wait 2 hours to install this dumb Service Pack 3 for Windows (yes I have not installed that thing)  and to Update my computer with Window patches to fix the bug.  (This computer is 14 years old, and is very bulky, and only 4gig left with around 250MB of ram hehe ^___^.  why yes, my newer computer broke down so im sharing with my sis~)


After the installation of the patch, it did fix the "IEXPLORE.EXE" but then an unknown process came up, called "iexplore.exe" lowercases. I checked it with my tech guy, and he said it's okay because that's Internet Explorer.  So I was like, okay, cool. But I use Firefox for 5+ years, and I never touched Internet Explorer -_-" And if it's a Internet Explorer thing, shouldn't it be under my NAME instead of "SYSTEM" ??? And then... a dumb internet explorer browser popped up.  I'm guessing it's a legit bestbuy.ca pop-up, but I'm not risking to click those links, so I closed it.  So I was like, "wtf?" and so I closed "iexplore.exe" but it popped back up again. OH HELL NAW.  

So I'm scanning my computer, but I don't know if it's a virus or a trojan or a malware.  If it's a virus... then cool, I'll use my antivirus scanner.  If it's a trojan, then i'll use something else.  If it's a malware, I'l use malwarebytes.  But I don't want to use all of them, cuz it takes a long time, and I want this virus gone asap!!

SO FAR, malwarebytes haven't detected anything, so I guess it's not a malware.  I'm using an antivirus scanner to scan~~~


LIKE WTF MAN. I mean, the songs I downlo--(COUGHCOUGH) don't appear to be infected, I mean, I previewed the songs first D< and once I d/l'ed it, I haven't even opened them yet -_-" unless streaming the preview caused the virus to leak...then I might know which one --- this one song where I was trying to listen but no song came out. (obvously you dont d/l the ones with no songs coming out from the preview... but streaming the preview = virus?)  GOD, eff man -__-


On a brighter note - I had an interview a few days back.  It was aiiight. But I hope they do call me back for the 2nd interview! LOL I NEED A JOB YO.

I'll promise you my FMA dream later (it's short so it's nothing)
but I had this awesome dream yesterday, and it was just weird.  I can't remember all the details but .... lol.

TL;DR: Ate dinner with grad classmates/friends and encountered two rapists.  We be smashing. Oh, we friended one too.
Disclaimer: no one got hurt!


In this dream, I am *magically* in a formal dinner with all my grad people.  It's almost time to leave, and I just realized I have NO idea how to get home.  I don't even know the bus routes and I need spare change.  I go around asking this girl, Fionna (real life person in my dream, hahah so coool) and she gave me spare change.  I wanted a ride home, so I tried to get this guy's attention to drive me and my friend home by talking to my friend that we don't know the way home.... didn't work.  So me and my friend (forgot to mention, she's a r/l person too ^__^) were walking home (at night).. we went past this alley, OH WE WERE SUPPOSE TO FIND A BUS BUT IDK HOW MY DREAM CARRIED ON....>> and suddenly, it wasn't night time, it was like, evening-daylight.  Then, while we were walking up these stairs (yes there are stairs outside, just 5 steps) this 25 year old, skinny, guy comes up to us and tries to surprise us.  He had this big stick-weapon and he was gonna go full blow on us.  And my friend was like, *oh no he didn't* and she grabs this big tree stick weapon-like, and was all ready for combat mode.  She had this face that read *come and get me* and I was at the corner and got a tree stick weapon-thing and was all cool about it too.  We threatened him and he went bye bye.  
THEN awhile later, a fat 35 year old sloppy person tries to jump us from behind... (I forgot the rest) But basically, we were ready, and we were not "scared" (well, a bit) but we were putting up the, bitch-come-and-get-us-face.  We had our "tree" weapons near by too. OH I REMEMBER NOW. I tried to scream, but NOTHING came out. (there were random people walking by... but far away) and I was like, wtf man, I can't even scream?! So then, the fat man thinks we're too smart for him, so he disapears *FOR NOW* and while we were walking home (at this time, it's like broad daylight!) and then the fat man appears and wants to get us! NOW this time, I screamed, and it got through! Then random strangers heard us, and the stranger told the rapist/jumper that raping girls are not cool. THEN, we, were like "yeah man, not cool" Then we started teaching the rapist to become a better person! I think we are friends after that, but that's the end of my dream.


HOW WAS MY DREAM?
Sorry, grammar sucks cuz this is all written by thought-structure - mode

Well I had ANOTHER weird dream before this one... but i gotta right this down before I forget XD


Okay so... basically, I was on a playground back in my Elementary school.  I was with a friend --whom I can't exactly make out -- either a person I know, or a made up person.  But she was very pretty.  So in the dream, we know each other. And while we were talking and playing(?) all of the sudden, this jet airplane (it's not big, and not small, but it's smaller than any other planes lol) yeah this jet airplane fits one person -_- , suddenly dives down at us and we were like, "holy crap" *jumps* I escaped, but my "so-called-friend" was captured and flew over somewhere.  Well before it tried to grab both of us, that guy stuck a needle to our arms (this happened really quick lulz) and I was like, "holy crap he's drugging us" and somehow I have these pills in my pocket (my dreams have some moments where they help me...) and I ate them so I don't get drugged and halled away :'D BUT ANYWAYS.
My friend gets kidnapped by this airplane and I got some pills on me that saved me from getting drugged, and I ran away.  I figured they were after me, but I went home.  And then someone rang the doorbell and they look like FBIs or "fake" police people.  So I figured I can't escape so I told my mom (she's at home btw) I have to go somewhere and said I love her like 100x while being cheery because I don't want her to suspect anything.  

Anyways, those "policemen" that were after my ass from the Elementary raid, took me somewhere.  So they took me to this place, and inside that place, I saw my friend.  She was eating (I think) and was happy to see me.  And then all of a sudden, KOREAN PEOPLE APPEARED. Then they said I was going to be part of the WONDER GIRLS (not the korean one.. but I guess another version) and so them (so called wonder girls) were in this studio practicing our new song.  The only lines I got was like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" and I forgot the rest, but I got a little part.  And then JYP appeared (Wonder Girl's Entertainment CEO person) and he was like all happy like a boss.  And I was happy. And then there were 2 good looking guys there, except one of them likes my friend, but I like him. And I was like sad, but I was part of the Wonder Girls.  Then my dream ends LOL.


TL;DR: I got kidnapped to be part of a group of idols to sing


I'll write the other one later.
