french_disko Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 What the fuck is wrong with my laptop and how do I fix it?I've been getting emails from both my girlfriend and my flatmate via their webmail which are titled "no subject" and the email just contains a hyperlink (which I haven't followed). They are sent to everyone in their address book but they both say they don't know anything about them. Since they both use my laptop to access the internet, I can probably safely assume that there's some kind of virus / malware etc on my laptop, oui? So what's doing it and how can I fix it?Install Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.50.1 - TechSpot Downloads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Why does Stroopy sign his posts with 2 x's and not 1 or 3 or even 6?One seems curt, three seems excessive.It's just one of those things I've always done since I first discovered texting. I discovered early that the number of kisses you send a girl you're trying to fuck in a text message says much more than the text does. Women are fucking wierd like that. If you send two by default then when you send one she thinks she has upset you, or pissed you off and becomes apologetic, if you send three upwards she get's all happy that you're being even more affectionate.It's basically the Pavlov's Dog technique with x's.Anyway, the whole thing had a bit of a side effect, the two x's became compulsive habit eventually and now I can't sign off texts or anything of the life without them.I only just manage not to when sending work emails!And that's my tedious little story.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Is anyone else having problems with Facebook today?My profile seems to frozen on some time yesterday afternoon and nothing I've done since then is showing up. Also I uploaded a bunch of photos and people have commented on them (I know because my phone keeps buzzing and telling me) but none of the comments are appearing. Everyone else's profile I look at seems to be OK, it's just mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then try clearing your temporary internet files and deleting cookies. Or simply log out of facebook and log back in again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be one of them is screwing up your profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
