So I formatted it... [D9]

Warning! Very detailed, long and boring text. If you are one of those like SJF then don't read this blog for your own good.

The backdoor trojan had been on my computer for a couple of months. The only thing it had downloaded was a spyware sending personal information and about what sites I were on, but that didn't matter. But until recently the backdoor trojan felt, I don't know, alone maybe. Suddenly I couldn't use the search button anymore, it had screwed up and locked my hosts files (used GiPo@MoveOnBoot to fix it), more adds and pop ups, draining bandwidth like hell (50MB in a few minutes, while I normally used that in a day), and a couple of more things. And the same stuff as in my previous blog. But then I when I had got unlimited this year I formatted and reinstalled. But ofc not without problems. My CDROM has some weird problem, it loves scratching CD's till they die (already destroyed 4 CD's), and it can have a hard time reading them. So during the install boot from the CD it failed to read a file! Nothing some toothpaste and water can't fix. Later on, while doing the first part of the install (installing the core/shell/whatever) it failed to install driver.cab. Shit! But it wasn't any important file anyway. Then when I was done I installed firewall, antivirus, etc.. But when I was about to move my documents from my 1-2 years old 16MB USBKey, I first needed to install the driver. Yikes. Well, even though driver.cab wasn't fully readable I managed to get the sound card- and usbkeydriver out of it.

Now to something that really bugs me! When I play CS/CZ it lags like hell. Even after the reinstall. Here is some information:

I use the same background application as when it worked, till it didn't, till now.

I've had worms and dialers and such before but not now.

It started when I altered the game settings, but they should have been kinda reseted after the format, and they are stored local btw.

Here is the most fun fact: My friend who has the same ISP and plays CS/CZ too (although he is banned [:P]), can play with no lags!

That really bugs me, I hope I can ask at a CS forum or something…

"So I formatted it…"

I expected you to say "but nobody told me my data would be gone" after that.

Was that after or before you saw my name?
