I hate it when stupid viruses in the form of pmnnn.dll start screwing up my computer... my computer now starts shutting off too...

I found the solution:

click to view

I don't understand how people get viruses. I have never had one on one of my personal computers.

My dad wont let me get anti-virus software. He doesn't want to pay a subscription fee. He warns me against clicking on anything suspicious.

Btw, my dad gave me a windows 98 which I had from when I was 8 years old to 14. I didn't know much about computers than, and that computer had so many viruses, it even destroyed the computer sound system!

Luckily, he gave me a windows XP, which I am really careful about what I click on.

I was using a friend's wireless internet and didnt have much of an anti-virus or security system to block out viruses, so thats how easy it was to get them... plus, I downloaded a lot of shit off of Limewire, and got a few viruses off of there too...

My computer wont even load... and the hardware is not in rough shape either...

You can get free antivirus software off of www.download.com. unfortunately, I knew about this after my computer got fucked up..

I don't usually bother with anti-virus programs myself, but I have had good experience with AVG Anti-Virus. It looks like Download.com is recommending that one right now, but in general I would strongly recommend against finding anti-virus or security software on a general download site, and of course NEVER get security software over P2P.

Luckily? XP is a nightmare!!! I'd go back to 98 for fun if I had a disk. Or even 95...then I could play "MORTAL PONG" hehehe. I guess I can on XP too.

Currently am running Fedora Core 8 (werewolf), which is linux. Unix is far too unstable for me so no BSD crap for me. I've used, long term (which means over a year) Ubuntu and Suse - but Fedora has been the 'best' one for me. However, this KDE 4 crap is bullshit. Nothing ever works (KDE 4 is a new version of some desktop software). The thing about linux is everything is for free, so you don't have to pirate as often, and it's fast....anyway, linux is nice for me. Try it sometime.
