I was trying to pirate the new version of Nero as for whatever reason the old version I had would not let me use Nero Scout and stream stuff to my PS3.  I was using WMP, but the ability to transcode files on the fly was too good to pass up.

The new Nero requires you to have separate serials for separate aspects of the program (BS if you ask me, just price gouging), so I was looking for a serial for Nero MediaHome (which came bundled with the old versions, but not the new ones...).  So I downloaded a keygen from what I knew wasn't the most reliable place, but I figured what is the worst that can happen.

Nothing too weird has happened yet, but everytime I navigate through folders an icon pops up that I have to X out.  It looks like a Windows icon too.

I already ran Adware and Spybot and have not fixed it yet.  I am running Spysweeper right now.  Its more thorough, so hopefully it will catch it.  Otherwise I might have to reformat...



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
