What happens.


Posted Friday August 18 2006, 4:21 am

I want to check my friends AIM because I want to see if she's friends with someone I don't like. [ she won't tell me if she is or not ] and I know her password, and I just want to log on really quick, and then sign off and not go on it anymore. And I know her password and everything, I'm just afraid that if I go on it, someone'll IM me and I'll have to talk to them and they'll mention it to her and she'll find out and get mad. Is there anyway I can do it without her knowing? Like, is there a way I can sign onto her name while she's online? Or will AIM like, send her a notice or something that's she on at 2 places at once. Help?

I have Itunes and it says that I need to update my software to download any songs. The lastest download is like 6 or something, I think. Anyway, I go to the site and type in my email and it says it will automatically start but nothing happens. I tried shutting down itunes and starting it back up, but that didnt work. Did anyone else have that problem? Anyone know how to help me?

virus??


Posted Tuesday August 15 2006, 9:16 pm

ok im really annyoyed right now.. i think i have a virus on my computer.

heres how it started:

i went to myspace layouts site and like a popup came up and i exed it out then my computer started freezing so i restarted it and then i saw an icon on my desktop it was like play poker for $10K and i deleted it then there was another one like FREE GAS (it came up right after i delted the poker one)and then internet explorer looks weird now. it says like mirar and there are tabs that say "dunham. baseball. job seekers. investing." but they change every time and now all i get are pop ups when im on AIM and they never came before.

so i was wondering do i have a virus? and if i do, how do i get rid of it?

thankss
