Weird Cursor/Browser Issue

[undercovergeek]

Have you got the OS disc?

[Gusington]

^I have to look around for it. Got this machine 3 years ago.

Spybot and Malwarebytes didn't find much. Is this thing embedded somewhere? I suppose I can also take it to the local shop...

[GDS_Starfury]

ok class pay attention.

this is why we put the os on a seperate hd partition if not a seperate hd completely.

I've always relied on powerful Seiðr incantations and an occasional blood sacrifice to Allfather Óðinn to keep the virii and jotun horses at bay.

YMMV...

Does Odin make house calls for jews?

[Staggerwing]

Only if you are open minded about polytheism. Also, there is this thing about throwing a spear over your enemy host and consecrating it to Óðinn. It seems to get his attention.

How's your throwing arm?

[Gusington]

Solid.

[Staggerwing]

Good to go.

Best tech support ever.

[Gusington]

Got a tech coming over to look it over tomorrow.

Remember to wear  your crocs.

[Gusington]

Whatever. It's embedded in my machine somewhere and I can't get to it after repeated attempts with Malwarebytes and Spybot. First time I've had to call in someone else.

I'd just replace the hard drive and format it.  Only way to ever be sure it's gone for good.  Topical creams never work out as well as advertised just ask Star.

[Gusington]

Yuck. If it's only affecting web browsing (that I can see) do I really need to replace the HD??

[GDS_Starfury]

how old is the hd?
you should really only need to reformat it.
