Luckily I had a warranty. They needed to replace the motherboard, the hard drive, the video unit, basically 75% of the computer was replaced. The guy said they shoulda just given me another one. Now I have kaspersky, it already protected me from 2 trojans:

Uh, the only reason that the motherboard could have any problems from a virus would be if it somehow forgeted up the BIOS, but then you can just reinstall it. Also, you don't need to replace the hard drive if it has a virus, and I don't see why you would need a new gpu. Sounds like you had some hardware problems along with viruses.

That or Geek Squad pulled the mechanic's oldest trick: you go in for an oil change and the mechanic says that you need new windshield wipers, the shocks need to be serviced and there's a funny sound in the engine that "he'll need to take a look at".

you're just a -snip- (don't want to be too much of an asshat, i just hate when people think people can hack into ips or some handicapped stuff like that). i, and many people i know, never have issues with security and never take precautions or take very low ones. you just did some stupid stuff.

The Topic is Blockland throughout the forums.
However this is the off-topic forums, meaning talk about non-blockland things here.
"I don't even take aosidh threads seriously here"
So from being around idiots too long you decided to become one yourself?
Or are you just trying to cover for your own mistakes/stupidity?
