<div style='font: 10pt ; text-align: left; '>Someday I should stop jocking Penny Arcade lines.

Seriously though, I spent one night browsing all the humor links from Abum.com and now I have at least one program that's slid itself up my computer's butt and is now asking on me on a regular basis, "Which one is Eminem?" (he's the white guy sitting in the middle of 50 Cent and Nelly), "How would you like to upgrade to the latest and greatest smileys?", and telling me that "Your computer may be infected with spyware!" That last one is the one that I'd really like to find the owners of and fuck up badly, because I think infecting someone with Spyware to get someone to buy their Spyware program is just disgustingly deceitful, scummy, traitorous and low.

Now I have to spend a night looking up all the goddamn processes on my computer to find out which one is the cowardly spyware program with its tongue up my computer's ass.</div>

People at work joke all the time about Spyware Remover, the spyware that tells you have spyware. I just cleaned off about 20 actual spyware programs and 3-4 viruses off of my cousin's laptop (currently on right now).</div>
