Could someone help me out...

I have pops up coming up every 2-3 minutes ,even when I turned on the "Disable PopUps" setting in Trend Micro and IE. It's still coming up. And when I started my computer, I got a warning message saying "Your computer has various signs of viruses and malware!!! Your system needs to scan for virusses immediately!!"
Then a program called AntiSpyware 2009 came up.

I just closed out of the program since I know based on the spelling and grammar that it's malware itself. Has anyone ever gotten this before? I'm doing a Trend Micro scan right now and it found no threats on my system but the popups still appear. AntiSpyware and Trend Micro are not related with each other AFAIk.

Your computer is about to conk out. That "AntiSpyware 2009" if it was installed, try at all costs to delete it. If it doesn't delete, back up all your data and reinstall Windows. That has happened to me as well, so I knew exactly what to do. I hate viruses.

Stay with Comcast. You will pay less and you will have less worries. Whenever I call Time Warner about my bill or why my channels are mysteriously changing, the people I talk to don't speak good English.

Time Warner Cable

Welcome to the Club! Since the consesus denotes that Comcast and Verizon FiOS is better than Time Warner, I'll think about getting them when I leave for University.

When I was born, we had Cablevision, that's when the Northeast companies dominated North Carolina. In about 1993, our cable provider (which at that time, we did not have cable nor satellite, we just had the Rabbit Ears) changed to Time Warner Cable. When we got cable in 2003, when we moved to a better living situation, Time Warner, Adelphia, and Comcast were in talks about splitting the cable providers into clusters. The cluster they were talking about for the Charlotte Area was originally Comcast, since Comcast is in the mountains and not mostly anywhere else in North Carolina (since North Carolina was dominated between Cox, Time Warner, and Charter), which we would most likely have been better off with Comcast.

Soon enough, they will cut fine and visual arts, and unneccesary gym classes from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. The superintendent denotes that he will drop 50 teachers/Assistants in undetermined courses, most likely music, gym and art, also Self Contained classes. When Eric Smith (if he is still in Anne Arundel County, please PM me) was superintendent, he would not have let that happen. The Special Needs class is supposed to have an assistant and a liason per every 15 kids. Just a fortnight ago, he said that he was going to dismiss some security guards, and every school is limited to 2 security guards. Guess at what happened on Wednesday??? A 17 year old Sophomore was sent to gaol because he brought a loaded handgun to school.

Thanks to the economic recession.

LOL, I got mine for free. I ain't stupid enough to turn down an ipod for free. 

But I also have a non-Apple player which I'm also quite satisfied with. 

Whenever I put my name down for a iPod on the internet, my inbox has about 100 new spam mails per every "freebie". This was most prevalent during the "Crown Jewel Era". I know who stole my Mp3 player, and I am going to get it back one way or another.

Back when I was in High school, I used to get Ds and Fs, cos I used to get suspended a lot.
But, the courses I excelled in were:

SBA: B
Biology/Greenhouse: A
Chorus:A (I don't sing, I rap, but you have to be extremely dumb or extremely ratchet to fail)
English:B

Some of my teachers told me beforehand what my grade would be, so that I would not cuss them out

I bought a iPod Shuffle at the pawnbrokers and I hated it. I took it back a day later.

I wonder is this the area for funny news.

If so, I was watching the 6:00am news, and the anchors were talking about these deers who ran into a ABC store in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. They say, they came one by one into the liquor store and cause pure havoc.  That has got to be the craziest news story since the drunk bear.

I got my blood drawn today and it hurts so much!! 

It could have been worse. I had to get lidocaine in my mouth, and they gave me a shot with a 12" needle. If they had to do it, it may have been for good reasons.

Breakfast: Two pieces of smoked jowls (which doesn't count)
Lunch: Panda Express 3 entree plate- Fried Rice, 2 servings of Orange Chicken, Broccoli Beef, 2 RC Colas and a moonpie.

For breakfast, I was going to fix some ramen noodles, but that doesn't help, especially if you don't know to cook Ramen.

$330 on my parent's comcast monthly bill 

4 HD-DVR Box rentals, Digital Premier Tier on all boxes, HD Tier (43 bland Channels) and On-Demand.

But you got all the bells and whistles. We only get: Cable in 4 rooms, no HBO, No Cinemax, No Digital Cable, No HD, 78 Channels, 1 Spanish channel, 3 ESPN channels, VH1 Classics, 2 C-SPAN channels, and 5, if not more, Religious channels. No one in our family watches News 14 Carolina. The only one who watches The Weather Channel throughout the day is me, Noggin, and Food Network. My mum loves the Food Network, I don't. If the Weather Channel was on the DTV lineup, I would not need cable. $275 for just rubbish.
