I don't know what the hell I clicked or downloaded that gave me an assload of viruses and spyware shit, but Jesus Christ! I spent a good 2-3 hours last night (early this morning) trying to figure out what the hell what going on. I did everything I could think of to get rid of it. I have an anti-virus program, but for whatever reason it wasn't finding the problem, but I was getting notices that viruses were being deleted. Then I thought I'd finally deleted enough shit to get rid of all the infected stuff because I wasn't getting the virus warnings or the pop-ups. I restarted my computer... I dunno, they always say to do that, so I did. When my desktop reloaded, there were shortcuts to a bunch of crap: credit cards, free shit, "hot sexy ladies," etc. What the fuck.
There is a free tech support number for Windows just for virus and computer security problems. So I called that. Surprisingly the woman who answered was American. I thought for sure I'd be calling India. Anyway, she walked me through a few things then told me to write down the last steps and we hung up. I followed the steps, but the things she told me to do, the computer wouldn't allow me to do. Dumb bitch. So I had to call AGAIN. This time a guy answered. He said the woman hadn't made any notes on my problems like she was supposed to, so I had to start from the beginning. Then he said, "I don't know why she would tell you to do that." That's good. <Sigh> ANYWAY, he helped a lot. I did everything he said, and I seem to be virus/spyware/adware free.

Not long after I left my little joking comment about the spyware/viruses on your computer being the result of you looking at porn, my own computer became infected with several spyware/virus programs as a result of my looking at porn.
Norton Anti-Virus found nothing wrong with the computer (I have an older version though). I then used a program called Webroot Spy-Sweeper to find and remove the problem. It worked. Three Trojan programs were deleted from my hard-drive...
However... Along with those programs went the rest of Windows. Somehow, Spy-Sweeper removed quite a few files that were vital to the proper operation of Windows XP. I could not get a single program to start. When I rebooted the computer, the system crashed before the log-on screen came up. I tried it several more times, and the same thing happened on every start-up.
I've tried several other repair options, and nothing is working. My computer is fucked. I'm going to have to reformat the hard-drive. All of my school files will be lost, as well as a large amount of music that I had downloaded.
Fucking porn-sites...
In case you're wondering, I'm using a friend's computer to type this... He told me not to look at any porn while I was using it.
