I wish I was out somewhere and a guy told me he was a computer hacker. I would pound his frigging face in.

The article says they caught it before it got out, though. I use CCleaner on my work computers. Didn't know it was owned by Avast, though.

I would finish the job with a shovel. Not that I like filling in holes, but a man has to do what a man has to do.

I haven't been able to download CCleaner on this new computer.
Maybe that was a good thing? |

I always clean my computer registry manually. I just got done doing it and removed some crap that was slowing down my startup.
