Today, I'm gonna tell you guys some series of events that occurred during my summer break, all pissing me off, and in the end, made me go into some sort of rage today.
One of the common rules in internet downloading (or at least one that I follow) is that you should never download a program you are not certain will give a virus. Also, you should always un-tick the option to make a toolbar on your internet browser should the installer ask you to.
This was a rule that my sister happen to not know of. You see, she downloads stuff from the internet, and installs them to the PC once a while, and just click 'Next' till the installation is complete. Then the next day when I check the PC, I see tons of unwanted toolbars, the homepage is changed similarly to the main search engine. It just piss me off.
I admit, the two main browsers on the PC are Firefox and Chrome, and I don't use Chrome. But I have to consider the fact that my parents are using them. So whenever all these toolbars and homepage changes were made, I had to undo it and make the browser return to normal so my parents won't be wondering what's wrong with the browsers that they're so used to using.
While I did tell my sister not to simply install anything that interest her from the internet, she still remains ignorant about it. Saying lines like 'how would I know?' or 'it's not my fault this happen, it's the program's fault.' which really made me rage a lot inside me, and make me feel like giving someone a high five to the face with a chair.
Then one day, I saw this little thing called the 'FB downloader' appearing on the desktop PC's Firefox. I just remove it like normal. The next day, it appeared again. It went on for several days. I tried multiple different methods on each day, but no avail. Even trying uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox but keeping none of the passwords and all, and it still appears. So, I gave up for the first time, I couldn't remove it from Firefox. I was so mad and so disappointed in myself. I had no choice but to uninstall Firefox from my PC, never to install it again.
Then we reach today. My sister installed some stuff in the PC yesterday. And today, Google Chrome can't open. I've checked for solutions online, so real solutions to it. Uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome? The same problem will happen when you start up the PC the next time or when you restart the PC. I can't solve the problem like for the Firefox. This was the last straw for me. I was really raging. I feel like knocking 10 guys heads off with a baseball bat. I feel so pissed today that the whole crappy 45 minutes I spent trying to find parking in my uni this morning was like entering a zen garden.
In case you haven't figured it out. Any random toolbar, search engine, or change in homepage into some third party thing that appears in any main internet browser, be it my own laptop's, or the desktop PC in my home is the bane of my existence. I hate them so very much.
Anyways, that's all I have for today. I'll be heading to watch a movie tomorrow, and maybe make a post about it next time.
