Oh, bother...

I don't know what I downloaded, but whatever it was it came with about 10 complimentary spyware programs.  Now with hidden files! 

*rolls eyes*  Yup.  Been spending the day removing it all.  My spyware detector didn't find it, and neither did my virus scanner.  Had to go through search pages looking for ways to manually remove them.  Also?  I downloaded a second spyware scanner to see if it will catch anything else.

*sigh*  On the bright side, I got a couple new graphics done.  There's a Spike wallpaper I'll be showing y'all soonish.  I just need some nifty text on it to finish it off.  I finished one of my projects for fall_for_sx and I downloaded some new source material for a second one last night.  *gr*  What can I say, I feel productive!  Might not get it done in time, but I'll still post it here.

Well, I'm off to finish my sytem scan and work on writing some more to one of my stories...

All gone.

Well, got that taken care of and finally got rid of all the spyware on my system.  Even got rid of a few lingering ones that I'd been trying to get rid of forever. *hugs google*  Tried out a few different spyware detectors, but in the end there were still a few that needed to be removed by hand.  No big though, as I'm just glad to be rid of them.

Gah, I'm so tired.  Stayed up last night to help my hubby get up this morning, and didn't end up getting to bed until after 5:30am.  Then he showed up around 10:30am giving me material for a Halloween poster and newsletter stuff that need to be turned into his office by tomorrow.  Before you ask, yes I usually get stuff from them at the last minute. 

Still on my to-do list after I get those done is doing that other fall_for_sx project.  Feh, I'm gonna stop worrying about it and just do it.  Y'all will find out what I've got done when I post to the group...
