Getting Rid of Viruses and Those Annoying Popup Ads

Well it happened. Somehow my computer got infected with a virus! I was getting those random popup ads every couple of minutes. None of my existing antivirus software worked! I’d delete the “infected” files and a few moments later the popup ads would resume. I tried everything including removing all software on my computer that I did not use/know in my Add/Remove Software and that didn’t work either. I tried various free online virus scans/fixes with no luck but finally I found the answer.

This is a software I highly recommend if you have any type of virus. This software found ones that my other ones couldn’t find! I was really impressed with this FREE tool! I know I sound like an ad….but I just wanted to share with others who somehow get infected with anything too. I’ll save you the trouble, just download:

SuperAntiSpyware!

Their slogan is “Removes ALL the Spyware, NOT just the Easy ones!”. I have to wholeheartedly agree with this.

Hello Kitty At McDonald’s

Filed under: Shop/Gift Ideas — girlrobot @ 1:35 pm

There are new Hello Kitty toys in the McDonald’s Happy Meal. The toys are different “kits” like a sticker kit, a school kit, a glamour kit, and various other items. I especially like the Hello Kitty lip gloss case. SO CUTE! I can’t find pictures but you can view all of them at the McDonald’s website.

I’ve been on a Hello Kitty kick. I came so close to buying this HK sewing machine. It got pretty good reviews and I’ve been looking for a small sewing machine that works! And this one is so cute!!!

Lastly, I’m on the brink of finally finishing the HP book. Is it just me or did parts of the book drag for you? The end is pretty exciting though. Too bad I’m at work, I’m dying to read the last few chapters!! Will finish tonight…

After reading this post, I realize how I’m such a kid still!!! Hahahah, oh well!

Filed under: Cool Links — girlrobot @ 6:17 pm

This website, planet hiltron, is hilarious. It’s a blog of pictures with famous actors/actresses/singers photoshopped into normal people. Is this what Jessica Simpson would look like if she didn’t have her personal trainers, makeup hairstylists, etc? haha

This is one of the most random things I’ve ever seen on youtube. 1500 inmates from a Philippine prison are performing Thriller. They’re so in synch! And the guy who plays the girl….hilarious! I’m impressed. Seems like a fun prison to end up in haha.

Hmmm, didn’t she learn anything from Paris??

Lindsay Lohan gets arrested AGAIN!

Lohan – who was wearing her alcohol-detection ankle bracelet at the time of her arrest – was booked for DUI, possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custody facility and driving on a suspended license, says Padilla

The next story is about our beloved Britney. Read the whole article…something is definitely wrong with her!

Britney on the brink of a meltdown

According to multiple sources, Britney’s behavior during the interview was “nothing less than a meltdown.” She was, according to our sources, “completely out of it” during the shoot. The photos are “so bad” we’ve learned, that to publish them could “kill her career.” Apparently, Brit Brit’s eyes rolled back in her head at one point, causing her to look half dead.
Her mood was extremely erratic. She took frequent bathroom breaks, and each time she returned her mood would change. She was also completely paranoid during the entire interview, fearing at one point the ceiling was about to cave in on her.
We’ve also learned that Brit had some issues with hygiene on the set as well. At one point, Britney ordered up some fried chicken to munch on. After she chowed down, she wiped her hands on a several thousand dollar Gucci dress that she was wearing for the shoot, staining it with grease.
Our on-set spy also says that her dog pooped all over the floor, and Brit used a Chanel dress to clean it up!
