Hi guys n gals.
As my first post I thought I should open by sharing one of the dumbest mistakes I have made on my PC in years..
BUT CAN YOU DO BETTER??
LOL
(Or should it be "have you done worse"?)
Ok so here I am an old geezer in mid life, well ish ( mutters age under breath with cough to cover up)
Been messing with pcs, n amigas n all that stuff for well donkeys years, sorta like noah n all those guys
(did he have an oric?)
BUT NO I STILL DO SOME REAL DUMB THINGS!! after all these years lol
So there I am happily downloading files secure in the knowledge that avast has never let me down, basking in the sheer safety of it all
N then Avast goes into action and picks up 2 unwanted guests that have sneaked under the wire. DAH DAH, man I knew this was one reliable program!!
I pat myself on the back for my sheer intelligence at choosing such an excellent program.
So I get the usual hey don't panic Mr Manoring message you know the one
" caution there is no need to panic this pc will not self destruct in 5 seconds, but it might be an idea to move these files that could totally **** up your whole system, probably all your friends pc's, and maybe even halt the internet, to the chest ) or words to that effect.
So I bung em in the chest and take a note of their names, (for future party invites or whatever (sad or what?),...delete em and I guess that should have been the story finished
)))
BUT OOOH NOOO
THATS FAR TOO EASY FOR THE LIKES OF ME lol
I need to try n be smart n think I know what the heck I am doin here
Delusions of intelligence and all that (by the way if you are really stupid, would you know?)
So off I go to find out more about the virus s (wipes dribble from chin after pronouncing plural virusesssssssss)
Anyway super sleuth that I am, I find out that one virus would disable in jan 2004 anyway and is pretty harmless.
BUT ( theres always a but )
TO be sure, the article says, I could always delete this service and this other service in windows, and then recheck that all is well
BUT oh no thats
STILL too easy for me!!!!
I mean I
REALLY want to put a spanner in the works, I REALLY need to let my brain completely slip a pile of gears!! life just can't be that simple lol
So I mess (up) some more
IE
Search pc for both windows service files (bearing in mind Avast had already done the work). needless to say no files found Surprise surprise!!!! man was my brain having a day off
So THEN
I forward the system date to OCT 2004
AND all is well
Time for a congratulatory whiskey, man I was feeling intelligent
I mean how did they miss me out when they were looking for rocket scientists I just can't comprehend, are they dumb or what
Can you see whats coming?
So yeh you've guessed it, I reboot again at the correct date and year and surprise!!!
Avast licence has expired you dumb *** do not pass go n for sure don't collect an intelligence award
) LOL
"You just spent a hour pratting about doing something Avast had already done, and totally stuffed the licence system for Avast"
Feel free to pass comments of derision, or top this dumbest of the dumb brain hiccups with your story of sheer ineptitude
Of course the bright side is for sure I dont have a virus lol, trouble is I don't have a working Avast either
Yours in humour
