virus, but not in the fridge
ja i had a virus. it was an instant messaging virus, which calls itself "wgav.exe" I didn't know I caught it at first since there were no information on the net about it. The next week, several websites have details about this thing. It was a good thing my firewall didn't go down, because it was the only way I was able to control it from reaching out to the web to contact more evil buddies. Then two days ago, my anti-virus caught it. woohoo! but you know that's not the end of it. it's still there despite your anti-virus saying it was caught and exterminated. This little virus changed and added many values to the registry. so unless you know how to look into your registry, its still there. it took a few hours for me to completely kill it. now i'm virus free!!! we must do the dance of joy!
on the frozen front... my fridge has been flaking out on me for about a month now. one day, all of a sudden, the door just breaks... I wasn't able to close it completely. after a few more days, the door descends every time i open it. you pretty much have to lift it and knee it in if you want it to close. i mentioned this to the building manager recently and he replaced it. of course he didn't show me the replacement. its either you take it or you let your fridge leak and consume energy through the leak while your stuff spoils.
