That you just want to beat the living **** out of Bill Gates? Out of the a$$holes that think it is good idea to bundle completely useless software with software that is useful? That you want to strangle your wife when you tell you to make sure that you un-check EVERY last MOTHER ******* box when she says she is going to install Shockwave? I do.
I am at the point now where I ******* hate, I mean HATE M$, Windows, Norton, PC's. I came real close to just tossing my PC out of the ******* house tonight, into traffic.
Here is the deal. Norton Security Scan, gets bundled with Shockwave. Sure you have the option of not installing it, if you un-check the ******* box. Well she didn't. Turns out the un-installer doesn't work. So while I thought I had uninstalled it 2 days ago, I was wrong. The ******* thing reinstalls it self on reboot. So I do some searching on the google, find out, there is no way anyone has aver really found to remove the thing.
So here starts the hour and half process of searches, deleting registry keys, deleting directories, removing dll's, and the such. I got rid of it, but 3 pints and AN HOUR AND A ******* HALF ******* later it is gone.
The crappy part is I do this for a living. This is my job, I am a 3rd tier IT Tech doing desktop support. I knew what I was doing. I pity the poor soul who doesnt even know what the registry is. How are they supposed to fix it. Give $300 to the a$$es at GeekSquad??? *******!!!!
Glad I got that off my chest. My wife and kid can have the PC back. I am happily typing away on my Mac Power Book. The Mac, thank you there are Apples. You want to get rid of app, drag it to the trash, you want to stop something from running, get rid of it, no big deal. I CAN NOT wait till the summer when the new iMac's and Snow Leopard come out. When that happens there will be an Office Space type PC destroying session in my back yard. You are all invited.
**** YOU PC. I AM A MAC!
