I had this problem a few weeks ago, i'm running on a copied O/S and it updated on me then started shutting off every time i tried to delete the hotfixes this must be new software microsoft are useing to recognise the fraudsters like myself, one thing to say to the billionaire BILL GATES. You've gotta get up earlier in the morning to catch me out. Am 100% active again and with 100% free software!!!!!!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha HA:thumbsup:
And I really don't think pirated software should be talked about here.
Or any forum boreds for that matter. Some may agree and disagree with me but stealing is wrong no matter what way you look at it. Would you like to be "ripped" off because some one was stealing your hard work. Yes I may not agree with bill gates and microsoft corp for that matter. But I will still legaly go buy a new computer. Or build one.
Imo- You wont get far in life with that view on things.
Have a good one,
oh no lets not let bill gates get ripped off (cause we all know he struggling like us)Quote:

since they made their money back along time ago, he should think of giving the consumer a break!!!
but hey, at least vista will retail for only 100.00
ahh... I'm with you on this. Steal from Bill Gates all you want. I really would love to punch him if I ever came across him. It should be noted I havn't been in a fight since the 7th grade, I don't like it and talk my way out shit when I can. But I'm serious, if I ever see you Bill, you will get a fat lip. Selling inferior products at inflated prices. Viruses are a joke too. Virus protection makes them money though, so why worry about fixing the OS in order to eliminate viruses. They just give you a patch for your now fucked up computer.
He's right dude, you have malware. In partilcular, you have the blaster worm. I think webroot spysweeper can fix it, I'm not sure, I have a few substacnes really impairing me right now. one of these should getit, probably trendmicro or anti-vir aor AVG, and ewido just everybody should have.Quote:

It probably takes about the same amount of time it takes to log onto cannabis.com and post a thread asking about the computer problem. lol. :thumbsup:Quote:

Is this happening on the bootleg copy of Xp you were looking for???
Yeah, it was deffo the blaster virus. In my first summer of working at my current job, there was a massive out break of this; ended up a gang of 20-30 techies walking over to the relevent buildings (8 in total), atleast 4 floors each, and 300 PC's per floor, (yeah, thats a lot). It looked like something outta a geeky movie.
It required the same patch, and also disabling the RPC service. Took all day too, in lovely weather, was gutted.
Same worm wiped out every computer where my woman works EXCEPT hers, because she was wise and listened to me, and had installed ZoneAlarm. So she got to play games and have fun while the techs spent a day or two fixing everyone else's computers. Now ALL computers there have ZoneAlarm on them. I have made a difference in the world!
