Glitches, Malware, ETC!

Hiya friends!
I just needed to make an entry today. It's been a long, crazy day...
Spanish presentation - CHECK! Now I don't need to worry about that anymore. However, one of my slides didn't work right!!! ARGH! It was an informative slide, too... :(

Well, all my six slides were informative, but I was just so thrown off by that glitch, I couldn't stop thinking about it. LOL. Whenever something not right or unusual happens to me, I couldn't stop talking about it-- especially when a.) it doesn't go my way; and b.) it was unavoidable.

I was so disappointed that when I went home to fix this computer of mine (HP Pavilion dv6000 - b2007), I told my mom about it. At first, my mom told me that I was unprepared, and then she decided to joke about it. She said that I shouldn't have freaked out; I should've explained to the class that there are things that we can't control--"but to fill time, let me tell you a dirty joke..." hehehe... it cracked me up... I should've done that.

After that, I proceeded to fix my computer. I tried several things to get rid of the Smart Defragmenter malware that was in my PC's system since this morning. I researched about this malware online and then I followed the steps. It took 2 hours for the anti-malware scanner to finish, but in the end, it still didn't get rid of the application.

I messaged my friend who was online at the time. He's a Computer Engineer major, but he really doesn't know EVERYTHING about PC, but I took a chance. He hasn't heard of the malware, but he gave me a link to an ask site. I looked for what I needed, or thought was necessary to my situation, and that did it.

The malware--or at least its application--is gone. I am at peace now. Yay.


Long story short, it's a crazy day.
That's all. Thank you.

Love to the nth power,
Mhaby.
