K so my computer problems won't stop. i backed up my files so i'm all set if anything happens. anyway, i keep getting pop ups (yah Firefox has a wack "pop up blocker" and the adblock plus add-on for pop ups don't work..figures) and random virus alerts from avira. i can't access my windows firewall and my network connections say i'm firewalled but i highly doubt it. so i can do any or all of these 4 things:

1. reboot in "last known good configuration"..doubt that'll make a difference tbh
2. do a repair install of windows XP (found the disk for it yayyy)
3. reinstall windows xp and start fresh. there is a problem with it registering sometimes. plus some of the software i have is from giveawayoftheday.com and i don't have those license keys anymore.
4. just say "fuck it" and deal with it until i can get a 'new' computer.

all in all i'm just gonna get a 'new' computer anyway, so why bother trying to fix it? it runs so-so.

suggestions? :(

lol i have to do an icontest for landofart and it's due in 2 days. FFFFUUUUUUUUUU!!!! this computer shit has taken over my life since tuesday. urgh.
