Blame It On The Itchy Hands
It all started with a weird pop-up that kept appearing when I opened a window or program. At first, I thought it was nothing until more pop-ups started to appear. Somehow got me distracted. So, what I did was to install the pop-up blocker. Didn't work, since pop-up blocker only works when you open the internet explorer or netscape with pop-ups. This pop-up seems to be in my PC.
Ok, fine. Let's try another way.
Undeterred, I cleaned all my temporary internet files , temp files and history. Still the pop-ups keep coming. Being the high flier, genius, one-of-a-kind whiz kid, instead of calling the OA guys to check on what's wrong, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
New ways to kill off stubborn pop-ups:
1. Go to start
2. Move your cursor to settings and click control panel
3. In control panel, find the "add/ remove programs" icon
4. Double click the "add/remove programs" icon
5. Scan through the currently installed program
6. Choose program that you find suspicious or shouldn't be there and click "remove"
7. Wait until the uninstallation process is complete
8. Click "Yes" to re-start your PC
9. After restarting your PC, you will notice that your screen has turned completely BLUE
10. Whoopssss!! You uninstalled the wrong program. Too late! Your PC just stayed BLUE. Wouldn't even show your desktop with the pretty flower wallpaper
11. Now sensing that you messed up, call the OA guys to come and reformat your PC
12. Congratulations . Now you have to wait at least 3 days for your PC to be cured. If you're lucky, your files are still retrievable. But in most cases they are not.
Hey, it is not my fault I'm so brainy, I'm born with it :P . *sigh* Served me right. And to think that it started with a stupid pop-up.
Now I have to float around finding unoccupied PC's to do my work and also to blog. Currently, my manager is away, so I got to use hers. Hopefully I won't wreck her PC. That will be super duper brilliant.
