Enchanted

- - came out on DVD earlier this week (Tuesday). I never got to see it before (it was only at the local cinema for about a week...) and my mother wanted to see it, too, so we rented it.

I adore Disney films. Even - especially, perhaps - the older animated ones. Why? I don't know. I just do. Disney is awesome. And I really enjoyed Enchanted!



But, I don't remember exactly when? While Giselle and Robert are talking, she does that... "putting my hand on your chest!" thing, vaguely similar to what Sam is always doing with Annie in Life on Mars, and my awful, horrid Brain immediately went: My name is Giselle. I had an accident and woke up in...

... Well, I'm sure you can figure out where things went from there. Argh.

It is 4:30.

I have spent the last... almost four hours trying to fix the massive amounts of Spyware, Malware, and viruses that my father managed to get onto his laptop.


FOUR HOURS.


We have made almost no progress. I brought my brother in early through Instant Messenger, then he called and we had him on the phone for two hours or so. FOUR HOURS of my father's useless commenting and trying to poke around with things he shouldn't be poking around with. FOUR HOURS of the computer beeping at me and throwing up pop-up windows about spyware being on the computer and click here to fix it and did you know that there's an internet attack on your computer EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE TURNED THE INTERNET OFF SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE


I HATE INTERNET EXPLORER.

DO NOT USE INTERNET EXPLORER. IT LEADS YOU TO FORCING OTHER PEOPLE TO FIX YOUR COMPUTER WHEN YOU PICK UP A VIRUS.



I HATE THE WORLD. HAPPY. EASTER.



I am going to go do something nice and calm and fun and relaxing while the hopefully-going-to-do-some-good fix-thing my brother managed to dredge up runs. Someone send happy thoughts or something. I am ready to scream.

I hate life.

Eight hours.



No progress. Not helping that he refuses to listen to me and keeps resetting the thing. Yes, father, I know Norton wants to reboot(! *beep beep*). It's been wanting to reboot all day. Ever since the initial scan found something. It couldn't fix it after the first five times, what makes you think the next three hundred are going to be any different? Though, hey, maybe after this you'll listen to everyone and either buff up your IE or use something else.



Taking hammer to laptop in five, four...



Edit:
oh my god he reset it after the program i had him installed finished running and he didn't bother to let me look at the log or save the log or anything how can I fix your machine if I don't know what's wrong with it SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE

And now the internet isn't working for him.


If he resets one more time, I swear, I really will go get a mallet.

It's 11:46 PM. That's eleven hours.

...

I think the computer is clean.


If I never have to do that again... It's enough to make one want to swear off the internet.


I can't believe I made the Spyware wallpaper go away. And the pop-ups have stopped. And I took the liberty of installing Firefox on his laptop while I was there.


I think I might go to bed now. I deserve a long nap.
