My stupid friend has one of those stupid msn worm things the ones that makes you ask people something like "Do you like the colour of this underwear on me I don't" Or "Want to see the pictures before I put them on facebook?" And then it sends a file which of course is the virus to everyone on your contact list. He is using NOD32,Avast, Avg, Spybot, Spysweeper. He has deleted the virus but it kinda I think multiplies so he still has it. Does anyone know how to delete it cause he doesn't want to switch to trillian messenger or e-buddy.

yeah those virusses suck and are a bitch to delete. Best thing I would recommend is to format the pc and have a fresh install, an dmake sure never to click or download shady stuff.

Jumpman I have tried those steps on his computer, apparently he has a different worm.. I'll have to ask him what kind of virus it is.

    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc

    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Didn't see much need for a console, all the advantages have kind of disappeared
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year

    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    nintendo needs to up their game soon
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah even bt support for Xbox one controllers are just as easy as pairing

    Xinput and 360 dongles were a driver nightmare
