Back-in-the-day (let's be honest, a month ago -- no, really, back in the day) . . I was a paranoid computer user who's firewall suggested hackers were out to get me (at the time I didn't understand the firewall warnings and that 'pings' didn't imply hackers) . . . one day, late late at night I should say (because even back then I wasn't this stupid, unless sleep deprived), I decided to 'get rid of the trojans on my computer', pressed ctrl+alt+delete.. explorer.exe.. potential trojan??? I decided, YES. Went into my system folder, managed to delete it (even though my system was trying its best to not allow me to), and soon thereafter.. received the blue screen of death.
