had to format.....

[HERB]ED]

so i chose the wrong keyboard type. So instead of pressing like shift 2 to do the @ symbol I have to press shift ' symbol

anyways ive tried to fix it back but havent figurd it out.

yep got virus' and shit so I had to format

[Spike]

shift+' for @ is correct for an english keymap.
of course, if you're american then obviously you'll want an american keymap instead of an english one...
you can generally switch between multiple keymaps by pressing both alt+shift at the same time (and nothing else). or go into 'region and language' in your control panel (yup, not 'keyboard'), and change the keymaps there to completely kill the one you don't want.

What you should remove is... Windows! And go buy a console(xbox360/One, PS3/4) of your liking

Best advice for ya man, sorry if it's harsh

Wow go find a log with a broken tree trunk , sit on it, and spin like you're a top.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

PS3/PS4/X360/XBone =/= multiplayer Quake1, just thought you should be reminded....

[HERB]ED]

I suck ass with computers now.

Some astromedia shit installed itself.

Windows kinda sucks eh. you just get fucked up so easily.

Im using windows defender and shit. And mcafee is going crazy. I have no idea whats going on and shit.

What browser and shit do you use? I use chrome but like it always downloads shit for me. fucking annoying.

[PrimalLove]

I use Opera. Also, you need to be careful what you click on. Email, websites, etc. Just because it says download here doesn't make it appropriate. One of the reason I use ad blockers isn't because I am anti_capitalist. Its simply because many of them are deceptive and you can easily download some malware, trojanware, ransomeware, etc. So its just not worth it to me. So I often utilize a good ad blocker. Also I use https everywhere to help ensure I am on a "secured" website. I also use ghostery for added protection. Noscript is also helpful for firefox but it will block legit things so use with caution and you'll probably need to make exceptions.

Also be careful what sites you visit. Downloading ebooks, movies, and shit is dangerous if you aren't cautions. Also be sure to have backups of your system run atleast weekly so you can easily roll back quickly. For instance, if you get a cryptowall ransomware you'll be out of luck without a good backup.

Try to also to make sure you have good group policy measurements to protect you from certain programs installing themselves in the background.

Good luck friend.

yeah.. looks like i have to format again lol.

windows defender got turned off. I take that as a bad sign personally

luckily im pretty decently drunk and making steaks and potatos

So my plan is to watch a few episodes or some shit of boardwalk empire and then turn on my format when i goto sleep

also boardwalk empire starts off slow but later on its fucking amzing

So anyways I basically plan to head back here and figure stuff out.

Im about to turn mcaffee off cause its just being fucking annoying and i know im fucked at this point anyways so i may as well enjoy it

Do atleast the two things immediately after formatting your PC/installing Windows.


-Setup an Administrator account! (don't use it!)
-Setup an Herb account! (or anything really, just make sure it does not have administrator access.

That's just the easiest way for you to commence tinkering with your Windows while mostly staying safe.

Install some type of Messenger program ( https://www.pidgin.im/ ) , ask me. I got plenty of methods for contact , can only blame yourself if you don't look before you leap.
