I've called someone for help with spyware on my computer that I can't seem to get rid of, and he's coming out to look at my laptop on tuesday. This will sound weird, but I hope he doesn't want to take it away with him for a closer look lol. I get kind of paranoid over things like that because of what a private space my comp is for me and how much time I spend on kink memes and the like *cough* I always wonder if they really do poke around the computers that they get send to fix? Oh and I've also been wondering if it would be worth asking if I can update to Windows 8, I'm on Windows Vista at the moment. Anyone on my flist using Windows 8?

And meme taken from my flist

Give me a fandom and I'll tell you:
my favourite female character
my favourite male character
my favourite book/season/etc
my favourite episode/issue/chapter, etc
my favourite cast member
my favourite relationship
a character I'd die defending
a character I just can't sympathize with
a character I grew to love
my anti otp

I am assured by techs of my acquaintance that they have neither the time nor the inclination to look at your files or history

Steer clear of Windows 8.. this machine runs it and frankly I spend most f my time trying to make it behave like Windows 7.. it's designed for touch screens and is a pain in the arse

If my laptop is glitching I'll get someone to talk me through fixing it over the phone. I had someone do a botched job on it once when I sent it away to be fixed.

Breaking Bad for the meme, please.

I used Windows 8 on my sister's computer and hated it, lol.

Buffy and Dead Like Me. SPN?

I don't think techs actually have time to go "surf" through your things like that. If I had a choice, I'd stay with Windows 7; I keep hearing 8 is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.

Have you thought about defragmenting and "disabling" things that start on windows start up that are not necessary to open then? I know this won't fix your actual problem right now but this could give some speed to your computer. Oh, and the less big things you got on your desktop, the better, too.

Good luck with the computer issues! *hugs*

For the meme:

Nip/Tuck, Life On Mars, and Sex And The City because I can't decide! :)
