Yeah, I'd be pissed. And its a new computer... One thought is try to return it unless sure the malware wasn't there when you received it.

I'm not up to date on the latest PC 3rd party Malware removal tools. Personally, I think most of them are malware themselves with all nuisance attention messages. But Windows requires a lot of attention in general. Microsoft's malware solution was good the last time I needed it and its free. http://www.microsoft.com/security/pc-security/malware-removal.aspx Maybe Midnite has more up to date information.
malarebytes is really good

Consumers Reports can kiss my ass.. Biased motherfukers.

I agree Consumer Report's recommendations are biased by what factors they decide are important and how much weight they assign to those factors. For cars, they rate fuel economy and expensive green hybrid vehicles much higher than I would for example. But I think the reliability survey of vehicle owners reported by Consumer Reports is objective. It's not their opinion but the collective experience of owners.

thanks hazy, and thanks everyone for all your suggestions. I kind of panicked and returned my machine to the original factory settings and that got rid of all the crap. I have no idea where I picked all of that up...I really haven't even surfed very much on this laptop yet. but I will download all the programs you suggested and run them religiously. hopefully I will not have any more problems like that. :)

I use this one
http://vapingzone.com/Coffee-Concentrated-Flavor/pid-469.html

Shipping is $3.99 I usually wait till they have a 15% off coupon but you have to order $20 or more to use it. I like most of their SC flavors. There have been a few I did not care for. Their Sept Wolves is excellent. It's a tobacco type flavor with a slightly sweet taste to it.
Thanks. I've seen a few other flavors there that have promise but it will be a while before I can justify spending more money on DIY supplies.
Subscribed to their newsletter though so I'll keep my eyes out for one of the coupons you mentioned.

Shit just doesn't work like it used to. I bought an mp3 player today and it chokes after just a few downloads, the power button is f'd up, and the only way to delete anything is to delete everything. It wasn't a cheap one either...I'd probably have better luck with a cheap one. meh. Now it's gotta go back.
Hope you have better luck with your computer Kelli.

Where they automatic or manual?

The one we're looking at is manual because we have heard the automatic transmissions have problems. I have not had problems with mine (its automatic) since I got it in 2004. It has 106,000 miles so that's why we are looking to buy a manual this time in case the automatic starts having problems
Both about equally. VW people tend to like manuals unless they get into them when they are older because they like the newer models that look like Audi's :)

He's weird as an action movie star for me. Better when he did drama. Now he's always got a special set of skillz. lol And I hated The Grey.
First thing I ever saw Liam in, was 'Darkman'...he's not much on gun owner-ship, so fuck 'im..

What are cat girls? And what is Japanese animes? If anyone is promoting animal abuse I want to know who, cause I'll squeeze their necks:mad:so they can't do it anymore.
(Most) anime isn't promoting animal abuse. A lot of the characters are...anthropomorphic, and during cosplay people dress as them. And honestly, the Japanese can be freeeeeaky. lol

I just like the slightly creepy/scary stuff. Too much blood, gore or demento fetishes just make me want to ralph.

I've got a pretty strong stomach, but one scene in 'Hannibal', almost made me a little queasy...the 'un-capping' scene...pretty realistic. Lotta the Japanese horror is pure blood spray, deserved, or not.

Oh god THAT move I couldn't even. Not even the book. *shudder* Oddly enough, especially with Japanese horror (not anime) that if the blood spray is waaaay too over the top, it doesn't bother me. Like Ichii the Killer. That's a good one if you haven't seen it. I think QT got a lot of his over-the-top blood scenes (and more) from Japanese films.
