(i have vista, and vista caused none of the problems in this thread)
ok,
a long time ago i downloaded some stuffty game online and i got a virus, this was about 6 months ago. my computer wasn't destroyed by the virus however a stuff load of stuff was bugged. the most particular thing that happened to my pc that nobody has ever even heard of was that my explorer.exe was taking up 50% of my cpu. i have a really nice processor so there was no reason for explorer.exe to be taking up this much cpu. whenever something that took up a lot of cpu space besides explorer.exe happened the taskbar at the bottom would just freeze up and clicking it did nothing, so when this happened id have to cntrl-alt-del to start up task manager and close explorer.exe and start it up again. this drove me crazy because i had to do it atleast 5 times every time i was on my PC.
so anyways, recently my computer had been acting up. out of the blue, .dll's were dissapearing from forgetin everything, games, programs, firefox. i'd go online to download the .dll's but the next day they would just be gone again. and then today, i started up my PC, and .dll's from system32 were missing. at this point i finally got fed up with having a super buggy PC and having to fandangle EVERYTHING to make it work right. so i spent a couple hours lookin for my windows vista install cd (yesterday i backed up all my important stuff onto my other hard drive). once i finally found the cd i started the installation over again. i waited about an hour for it finish and let me set up my preferences. during the set up i was asked to verify the date and time. it was forgetin april fools day.
but now i have a brand new vista so everything is cool, and i feel great, its like i conquered the computer version of aids.
(this probably isnt the conficker virus but who gives a stuff cause i finally fixed my computer)
