so which -tan do you consider yourself?

Re-install? MS Office? That's just worthless. It's not even any use to pirate it anymore, unless you absolutely must have .docx compability natively (which is completely damn useless, by the way). Just remove it - every single damn tiniest little trace of it, you never know otherwise - and install OpenOffice.org over it, and you're done.

Any more support for the poor lass should go in the appropriate thread, however.

That's the thread were I should keep this conversation on? If so thanks for redirecting me. It's kinda hard for a noob like me to read all the posts in the entire forum. Thanks again NejinOniwa :smoke:

I'll scold him don't worry, I'll encourage him to use antiviruses even if it's a free version. It's better than no antivirus at all. These days computer who venture the net with no protection is like a beautiful virgin girl going to an underground thugs place.

Unless your sis is a crazy sk1ll3d l33t hacker, who somehow managed to stick Windows and Mac source into her Linux OS base, I very much doubt she's running a fragmented OS.

The OS is the OS, no matter what window managers, desktop environments, emulators or foreign apps its running... a Linux computer running Windows programs under an emulator is no more related to Windows than a human wearing bunny ears is to a rabbit. ^^

Quote from: "OS Freak"My cousing is kinda like a zombie XP tan. He gave me his laptop to fix it and groom it. He was running her with no antivirus or firewall. I installed my thrusted one I have. It found 200+ vulnerabilities, 16 Viruses, 10 trojans and 2 malware. Had 500+ registry errors and had 3.8 Gigs fragmented and 2900+ temporary system dump files. Pretty much he just wanted to torture the poor XP girl.

Anybody who allows THAT to happen to their computer should not be able to use computers! I mean, who the **** uses Windows without antivirus and firewall programs?!?!

I feel so sad for that computer. Poor XP-tan ;102 ;102

I'm studying computers and I always beef up mine's security. I tell ya Aurora it pains to see OS's being treated like that. Some other people have givven me other laptops for me and my friend to fix. Both of us have found some bizarre moments out there, I mean Do most people know what a computer is? Do they have in mind that one they get one they just turn it on use it then turn it off? Jesus-Christ, computers need assistance and maintenance and security just like a human needs food, water and shelter.

Excellent decision! I wished other people would do the same!

Part of the problem may that too many people these days tend to see their computers as disposable commodities that need nearly no maintenance since they have gotten so much cheaper over the decades. But 20-30 years ago, a personal computer was regarded as an investment!

The other part must be that people aren't reading the manuals and haven't bothered to learn how to take care of their computer! ;030

Rage? From MY Aurora? It's more likely than you think!

Chocofreak13 · January 09, 2009, 04:05:40 PM

she can hack, but our friend the genius-boy set it up. it doesn't actually have linux i heard, but it's windows with a mac overlay, which is still a little odd. :/ (i bet 95-tan would be pissed. :3 )

I agree with you. I am prsonaly a poor person I have no shame admiting it because I did save very much to buy the XP I'm using to write these posts since 2004. I've givven her so much care the only thing she has ever neede replacement was her celeron processor wich with hand work only costed a mre $134. She has been in service since I purchased her to this very day with only that much investment. As you can see I try to protect her much it's the only thing I have. and as we said both people these days don't value their things until they lose them.

Chocofreak13 · January 09, 2009, 08:39:59 PM

hmm, anyone who thinks security is stupid IS stupid. >_<;

even if's freeware.....

oh, and then all the idiots who make the admin account their permanant user account on top of not using security.....dumbasses.
