I found the cure!

[mato]

The cure for mystic wicks addiction! EEK! It was so obvious! A virus that destroys your mouse capabilities! Whoo Hoo! Cured at last! :D

But really some one (rat bastards that they are) emailed me a nasty virus that got my femputer deleted my mouse codes long enough to fry everything else, so while she is in the shop I will seriously have to cut down on my mystic wicks intake. c-ya whenever.

[kblackthorne]

Sounds horrible.

Do you know the name of the virus or any other info?

(Selfishly looking out for MY computer...)

[Flaire-FireStar]

:mad: How can you go againsed the patch!!!!!



But...:p & welcome back..

[Ardwinna]

I guess it doesn't completely cure it since you're here... ;)

bummer about the virus! not nice! :(
not nice at all. (I hope my computer doesn't get it!)

yikes

[Dellit Tandannon]

hehe, that wouldn't have stopped me. i know all the keyboard commands :p

[kblackthorne]

At work I use a custom database that the company paid $5 mill for... and doesn't HAVE keyboard commands for half the things you need to do! :eek:

[Flaire-FireStar]

:dis: I used to know the keyboard commands, but then I stopped using them & I ended up forgetting. *lesigh*

[Twig]

We don't need no stinkin commands! Just rock solid virus protection!

Peace,

I found a way to break the MW addiction.

It is called "Baldur's Gate II" and when it is running I don't think about anything else other than killing bad monsters and getting kewl magic swords and stuff

[kblackthorne]

A recently acquired copy (we just bought a modern computer in Dec.) version of Diablo II does the same thing....

[Dellit Tandannon]

that's the way i was with half life.

my name is gordon freeman. i am a scientist for black mesa. i caused a resonance cascade which unleashed beings from another dimension into my own. now i must kill all alien life forms and armed forces that stand against me. i must also find one of those damned government agents that you can't friggin kill. i hated that! yarg. hehe.

i beat it though, and no game compares what-so-ever.

[SimplyStrange]

The cure for my addiction?

Diablo 2

hehe, or mudd games.

[Sequoia]

oh you poor, poor deprived people.

it's all about a good SNES emulator. Screw anything else. *.* me an' final fantasy IV, baby. . .

[Flaire-FireStar]

:( Haven't found my cure yet... I'm not really a video game type person so...:nyah:

[Ardwinna]

Who wants a cure, anyway? ;)

[Flaire-FireStar]

Yeah! :eyebrow: Who said I needed a cure for MW.... :D It's what gets me up in the mornin! :D

[Flaire-FireStar]

[Niamh]

I just had some toast myself... ate it in front of the computer!

PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU HAVE AN E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR.

Check with the techno-geek section. . .

But I'll say this, here and now: If a dangerous new virus is out on the 'Net, you'll hear about it on the news, or through press releases from Symantec, etc. Neither IBM nor AOL have any presence in the antivirus field--and since I can't find any information about this "Jesus virus" at Symantec's site, I can tell you with almost-absolute certainty that it's a hoax.

E-mails like this are a virus--a virus that works through social engineering and the Barnum Principle, "There's a sucker born every minute."

You should know PB

Well, if it is true I’m sure many people will be saying “Jesus” and many many random obscenities afterward. :D I'd be inclined to open it if it say "It Takes Guts to Say Jebus". But I might just have to hurt anyone who would do such an evil thing with a quote from Homer Simpson. ;)

[mato]

damn it she just cant take the internet software now... My femputer is busted... but I got to play diablo (the first :() and it is ok... Just checked no one got the virus from me (I dont have any one in my address book any way...:)) and my femputer is seeing a specialist of sorts. Hopefully I will have her back to peek condition within the month.

What he said.

This is on McAffee's hoax page. http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=98307

That means it's NOT true, btw. Usually it's a good idea to back up these warnings on McAffee or Symantec's sites.

Don't post 'em here either, the last time someone did that I don't know how many people deleted an important file from their hard drive before checking to see if it was true... ;) :rolleyes: :D

[pheonix_goddess]

I was not aware that MW was an addiction but now that you mention it..........
My cure is school. All my classes are online so I feel that I got the addiction under control, yet, I am her now....................

[Romani Vixen]

but I couldn't give up MW... i'm glad I scan all downloads....
