Re: Im so pissed at my stupidity

what OS are you running ?
there have been some issues with the "windows blue tooth" stuff (the BT folder you mentioned) , the string is correct . it MIGHT just be that if you had the "windows automatic update" turned on it dl'ed that stuff at the same time you were going for the porn . these updates were to take care of some vulnerabilities and exploits . there is a possibility that these are indeed "spoof folders" ... they look right but damn sure aint .

there are some exploits geared toward the old windows messenger (the pos-1 original of yore) that was to be used as an inter-office messaging system . some of those scumware piggybacking sites use this type of system to create the popups .

the surest way to tell what is going on is to do a virus/scum/malware scan of those folders you mentioned ... avg , adaware , spybot s&d and a few others offer the ability to be installed in a manner that allow contextual association with the drop window of options on folders and so-forth ... right click on a folder and select "scan with xxxx" .
it is best to scan with at least two different types of programs (malware and adware programs) .
to the best of my knowledge there is no single program that "gets them all" .


about the grammar ... stop using abbreviations when they are not really needed and break up your writing into logical segments .
the lack of ability to indent the start of a paragraph here makes it a pain ... inserting a space helps out , as does starting a new line .
elsewise , you're doing ok .

writing is becoming a lost art . not everyone comprehends "733T 5P33K" .
