Every fucking month, Windows XP bugs me with an update for some built-in malicious software removal tool thingy. Then, after I comply and say I don't want to reboot until later, it interrupts whatever I'm doing to nag nag nag me EVERY FIFTEEN GODDAMNED MINUTES until I finally agree to restart the computer. Windows 2000 never did this. Hell, even Suuupa Xtreme Blue Screen Enhanced Windows 98 never went this far. I seriously think Windows XP is going out of its way to drive me irreversibly insane.

If this malicious software removal tool program actually did what it purports to do, I would have no fucking operating system. 👿

    I used to get that all the time, now I don't, I do not know why. But wow was it annoying.

    These days, AOL's spyware download updates always end with a bubble coming up saying "continue what I was doing" and nothing more. To get rid of the bubble you have to click on it. As if they're giving me permission to keep using my own computer. THANKS. I GET IT. YOU WERE DOWNLOADING SOMETHING. YOU SLOWED MY COMPUTER DOWN FOR TEN MINUTES, AND NOW YOU NEED ME TO EFFING CONFIRM THAT I'M AWARE THAT YOU ARE DONE. Okay so yeah, annoying.

    And that, my friends, is why I plan on buying a mac.
