How to defeat Viruses like a boss
6 min read
Okay so I just got the DA warning/disclaimer about Viruses and Malware and I couldn't resist writing this since DA actually gave me this one stupid virus last year like 5 times. I am not mad at DA because it is NOT their fault and LOTS of other sites have this crap but I feel the need to warn people. I fix computers for fun.... My moms boss has paid me fix his computer multiple times and my schools I.T. guy asks me questions often......
My advice on fighting the wicked forces known as "Viruses!!!"
PREVENT!!!!!
Do run Firefox. Yes you can still get infected with Firefox, but it will improve your chances of victory against them. Microsoft Internet Explorer will not protect you at all. 
Do have antivirus software. Start by downloading AVG. It is a decent protection software and is free unlike most stuff out there. You can use other protection programs with/in place of AVG if you would like. But seriously, not having antivirus software is pretty much asking for it. :stupid me:
Do SERIOUSLY consider an adblocker. (They run very well with Firefox) Most viruses that people get are imbedded in ads. Plus, ads can be really annoying.
Most of these viruses disguise themselves as a Virus Protection Software. Be informed as to exactly what your antivirus software really is so that you won't be fooled.
Dare I say it?.... Use a mac. 
I know there are some with Macintosh-Phobia, but as one who grew up PC and has used every version of Windows, I must say that after trying (and buying) Mac I will fight to the death you when I say that Mac is superior in every way, shape, and form. If you have never-ending virus issues then Mac may be for you. And for the record you CAN run Windows programs on Mac without any problem. They actually work better on Mac in my opinion.
FIGHT!!!!!!
When you do see the virus RUN AWAY!!! Click back, X out of the screen, end your Internet browser, Control-Alt-Delete to Task Manager and end Program, whatever it takes to get away from that devil! Whatever you do do mot click "OK", "Next", or "Continue." 
If you have a downloads window pop up (Firefox has one) when you were not trying to download anything it probably is a virus trying to imbed itself in your computer. Do your best be be fast and stop that bugger in his steps! 
Stop the downloading before it completes! Sadly this doesn't always stop the ugly butt villain completely. It may have been downloading many small viruses and finished imbedding some of them on your hard drive before your could stop them. But at the point where it is downloading, your antivirus, popup blocker, Luke Skywalker, adblocker, etc failed to defeat the virus and all you can do is stop the download. The faster you stop the download the better your chances of stopping the virus.
If you see it turn off your internet connection on your computer. As this demon resides in the fiery pits of the internet rather than hell, disconnecting from the internet will cut off his communications with Satan. This will stop the virus from completing the download and imbedding itself in your computer. Also if the virus is already on your computer, disconnecting the internet will stop the little brat from inviting his icky friends over. 
if you saw what the virus was called or its file name, then you can try to search your computer for it and simply delete it from your hard drive. Go to search and have it scan "My computer" so it searches everything. If your computer finds it, delete from your hard drive then you MUST ALSO delete it from your recycling bin. Viruses are like the Joker: locking him in jail up won't stop him. He WILL continue to escape and wreak havoc until batman gets the balls to kill him. 
Also, viruses, like the Joker, are smart and sometimes won't allow you to search for them and will lock up control panel, task manager, My computer, etc. But you can always try.
Be Proactive like toothpaste. If you think you have a virus or a virus tried to download itself on your computer take action. Don't ignore the problem and be like "Oh it will go away!" NO! FAIL! If you weren't able to find it on your hard drive or delete it TURN YOUR COMPUTER OFF! (Manually if you have to since sometimes viruses lock up the Start menu.) Take your baby to a computer person as soon as you think you may have a virus. Letting it fester will only give the nasty worm time to invite other viruses to play and completely screw you over. If you wait too long even Will smith won't be able to save you! 
Viruses like to hide in the dark shadowy forrest, invite the other orcs and forces, infiltrate your castle, then strike you down when your can no longer defend yourself. Even if it hasn't reared its ugly head yet and you aren't sure that its really there it's better to be safe than sorry. 
BE SMART!
My mother was usually the culprit in my family because she is not a computer person and was like, "OMG! It's telling me I have 5 trojans and a bunch of other scary crap! CLICKY!!!!!!!" and let it download itself. (It's okay mommy! I still love you!!!

I just read chapter 526 and it was AWESOME! I have been waiting to see Hinata and Neji fighting side by side like this forever!!! 
And the character developments of the two over the series is so amazing too!!! I am so excited to (hopefully) see more!
*goes into rant mode*
I think Nejihina really REALLY should turn canon! Sasuke and Sakura aren't going to work. It's a doomed relationship unless Sasuke straightens up, and I don't see how that could happen without the plot getting overly anticlimatic. How stupid would it be if Sasuke and Naruto get into an epic hundred chapter long battle and then everybody just end up shaking hands then forgives and forgets what happened? The building tension would have been for nothing!!!! The emphasis on "revenge brings no happiness" would just be forgotten and disregarded if Sasuke ends completely happy with no repercussions. I can see Naruto forgiving Sasuke, but there will never be that trust from before. And if Sakura just forgives him like nothing happened, talk about ruining her tough and maturing character. Sakura deserves more. (NARUTO!!!!) Seriously, Sasuke has told her off how many times now? And now he tried to kill her!!! Sakura is seeing Naruto more and more as a man so I could see them happening. Sasusaku, not so much. I think the character development between Hinata and Naruto (and Neji and Naruto for that matter) is done. Naruto did his part in changing Neji for the better and being the idol Hinata needed to keep her motivated. They have both flourished. Turning Neji and Hinata into a pair would reemphasize the unity between houses Kishimoto keeps emphasizing is being developed. It would literally marry the houses into unity. So Nejihina is a great idea not just from a fan's point of view, but from a writers point of view in my opinion. It would help the plot I think!!!! And who can deny that they have chemistry? They look so amazing together and compliment each other so much!!! And there are SOOOOO many things that were said and done that could be interpreted as foreshadowing as them getting together if the plot turned that way!!!!
the cold, dark, and probable reality: Kishimoto is going to have Naruto and Sasuke fight it out for 100 chapters, cry, gush feelings, and have Sasuke beg for forgiveness and go into emo guilt mode. Then Naruto will be all hero like and forgive him showing his ninja quality. Sakura will probably be obnoxious and immediatley forgive Sasuke because he'll realize how much he "needs" her and how she was "always there for him when no one else was." Then everyone will show up smiling and rooting for Naruto and the story will end with someone saying "he's definitely on his way to be hokage" or something like that. Maybe there will be a "years later" chapter with everyone and their happy cheerful families and Naruto as hokage.
Yup. -_-
