tech tech tech

which actually refers to the passage of time waiting for the scanning software to release the computer from it's slow-down clutches so i might have some false sense of security that the computer and my data is safe and will not continue to suddenly shut down at what appear to be semi-random moments... time time time... tic tic tic... tech tech tech... get it?...

in any case, this third in the unplanned series of tech reportish (or more accurately, perhaps techish report) entries begins with the check of the spybot deep root scan in progress... it may go on forever and produce no understandable or useful results, which leads me to wonder why they ask for money for the program... show me some explanation for the process that makes sense to me and i'd happily pay for the time i am waiting for the results... that's why i complain so much about kaspersky, they do charge a lot to slow down my computing and maybe even block my browsers and still they make no sense in their 'reports'... anyway, here are some more of the reports from spybot... sense will be much welcomed, appreciated, praised, and if you're good or adorable, maybe even paid for... are we having fun yet? :)

(and sixteen other .tmp files in AooData\Local\Temp created today)

to whatever credit is due, spybot does give me the option to scan the files for malware with a few jumps through a few hopes and spybot reports the files are clean, in fact, spybot "explicitely recognized these files as clean" and in spite of the passive voice, i can accept the premise based mostly on hope that that is better than nothing, even if ignorance reigns supreme in such a judgment... like what the heck does this mean?...

so the deep rootkit scan continues as will these relatively meaningless reports because someday someone will understand and if they explain it to me, i may be forever grateful, but then, the future is not predictable according to current human knowledge and i'll not challenge that particular assumption at this point in time (though i will predict i will offer some form of appreciation and praise if and when an explanation that means understanding in my brain ever comes and if libbo likes the information giver, there would likely even be some form of offering of some form of wild sexual escapades... with and without chocolate)...

some 4:30:14 hours later, spybot deep rootkit scan is done and... drumroll... nothing... just a list of files with no recommendations and scanning each shows they are clean (so why are they on this list with either yellow or red flags?)... yeah, i know, feel free to explain and collect your appreciation and praise... and money if i actually understand and you are not a generous soul...

narf :)
