lady_sarai | Erg, and Oo!

After a 47 minute scan, my new AntiSpyware program found 80... that's right, 80... spyware/adware programs on my computer, effecting 600 or so files. Yeah, yay, as right before I ran this program, I ran AdAware, Spybot AND McAfee Anti-Spyware. All three programs told I was a-ok, no problems found.

How's that for a great, big "Grrr, Argh!"

So, restarted the computer, but it took so long I decided, hey, try running that scan again. Yeah, it's found 12. In 30 minutes.

May I say, I HATE technology?

I would, however, recommend everyone download "Microsoft AntiSpyware" from here. I'm hoping it will save my computer, and it seems to be doing that.

But, have been reading some AWESOME fic in

femgenficathon. It's awesome. I do love my Harry Potter fics... Gen fics, no less! Girl power gen fics, even!

I particularly recommend

tangleofthorns' "Sea Change," found here. Awesome, awesome look at Narcissa. And I usually avoid Narcissa fics, for one reason or another, but this one. Just read it, if only for the beautiful language. The author has a great way with words.
