God, I am in a rotten mood.
Whatever is wrong with my computer is so wrong that it won't even let me run an Avast scan. I tried twice today, leaving my room for several hours both times; when I returned my machine was completely frozen and had to be shut down and restarted the bad, wrong way. I tried it again tonight, and it ran about forty-five minutes before one by one - first Firefox, then AIM, then Word, then Avast (although Spider keeps on truckin') - the programs stopped responding. And so did the entire computer. I click anywhere, everywhere, and nothing happens. I can press control-alt-delete until my fingers fall off and NOTHING. HAPPENS.
I'm so fucking pissed. This goddamned piece of shit laptop is just turning two years old this month. At least when I got a debilitating virus on my old desktop, I could actually find out what that virus was. What the fuck am I supposed to do when it just STOPS WORKING every half-hour?!
::breathes:: Okay, okay, I am not going to throw the computer or the iPod out the window, even though it deserves it (but they don't deserve names anymore SO I HAVE TAKEN THOSE AWAY), even though I have a paper due Tuesday that I haven't started or seriously contemplated starting yet. I am going to surf the Soton website until I find the tech support, and they had BETTER have decent tech support for such a big-ass uni.
GOD! I hate everything! DALA SMASH!
How much does the lowest-end Mac run? Eh?
...Cera's woe is not nearly wrathful enough, but she's the only remotely appropriate icon I have left. Just pretend she is my Slither 'my easy-goin' nature is getting sorely fuckin tested' icon instead.
ETA: Did it again. Just fuckin' quit after an hour of operation, when I wasn't even doing anything except Firefox and solitaire. And I just remembered it's Friday so I'm not likely to get an answer from ISS anytime soon.
Kill my computer. Kill my computer. C-I-L-L my computer.

My sister tells me if I'd get around to transferring all the files off that I want to keep onto elsewhere, she'd defrag and wipe it for me and reinstall basic programs that came with it. Maybe you could do that?

You can run your virus check from that. Then invest in Mcafee, please?
