If you want me to explain something (very) nasty, here it goes: I had *everything*, I didn't even have an email account at the time, and everything was up to date and working. And I at the time didn't even think of downloading or uploading anything. And. I must've picked up a trojan or something, cuz in the middle of the night my comp started pretty much going to these weird sites; I'd wake up and I'd be at adultsupercash.com or something, and/or have weird file mp3s like what_the_hell_are_you_doing.mp3, it was a really nutsy song about some hacker and all this stuff, it was pretty weird. And so much more happened, weird things I had to in the end reformat, and that didnt work either; the idiot kept coming back! And it wasn't some nightmare that happened; this actually happened. It was weird, scary, and most of all, maddening.
