he quarintined all the files but u can still see them and they still shut down his pc and shit

Which means his quarantining was about as effective as farting at a hailstorm.  Unless of course it’s another problem.

There was an interesting term I saw in a video in “which video are you watching right now?” About stupidity.  It was a specific phenomena that had a tow-last names title common to a lot of such things.  The “something somethingsom effect” or whatever anyway it was caused by someone knowing so little that they didn’t know how much they didn’t know and therefore were convinced they were correct.  Might apply. The one I can tell I myself often fall victim to is cognentive miserliness. Where I read or hear part of something, surmise the rest (which was not how i projected it) and come out with something completely wrong.

If homeboy doesn't want to fix his shit, let him be then. 

 

It's like in Silicon Valley, let Blaine die.

the avira stuff and sometimes the luke thing launches

randomly

1. Burn linux mint, and try to recover your files.

2. After recovering your files, reinstall windows.

3. Tell him to stop cheating.

4. Once you reinstall windows, create a system restore point, in case such a virus happens again.

 

 

Windows really needs time machine. I can't live without timeshift on my system(linux)
