Shit shit shit.

Posting from [livejournal.com profile] elenuial's computer. Mine is useless.

Some stupid virus/spyware got into my computer last night somehow. It started by changing my background and taking out the option to change said background, then made it so that whenever I booted up, five seconds in to moving around on my desktop, the desktop freezes. Anything else that is running gets frozen, and an installation tool pops up for something I've never heard of.

*sigh*

What are my options here, people? I really don't want to have to wipe it. There's a lot on that hard drive that I haven't backed up yet.

Anyone got any ideas?

That XP bitch!

Oooh, clever bugger. Now that I've figured out what it is, it's blocking my access to antivirus/malware sites and redirecting me to spam.

However, it clearly didn't plan on me having access to my inamorata's computer, where I can simply bring over Malwarebytes on a thumb drive. =)

Take that, you little twat.

EDIT: Two minutes into the scan, and I have 13 infected files. Lord.
