TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Sooooo, I have a visitor, Antivirus soft. I was able to find a tutorial on how to remove this bitch, but in order to do so, I need to reboot my computer into safe mode. The instructions provided at the site I was at do not work. This is pissing me off, and is probably my own fault. Any help would be appreciated.

Turn your computer off wrong, and when it starts up, there should be a black screen that gives you three options or so, safe mode being one of them. This is if you have a Windows system.

Thanks. I actually got it into safemode, but can't get it to download the thing I need to remove it. I'm trying to save it to a flash drive on my folks' desk top, but for some reason I can't get it to download.... This is frustrating...

I hate when that happens. Did you try right clicking on the download button/link and selecting "Save target as"?

safe mode is usually activated by hitting F8 a couple of times during the first bit of booting. then you get a menu. but I see you already figured that out.

I have learned something in all this: I am a dick.

Goddamnit. If I had spent all those years ignoring technology learning it instead, I'd have this fixed by now. I AM A DICK. I've come to the conclusion that I now own a fucking brick. I will choke a motherfucker.

It didn't work in Safe Mode?

Are you sure the instructions you followed are recent? (Check the dates on the article)
Is it plugged in?
