Scratch

Xkhaoz · 2009-01-28 20:49:21

Well, thanks to my brother, my computer got a virus so it deleted all my stuff. So, I'm not going to make stuff on Scratch for a while. But after my hiatus, I will make stuff on Scratch on a daily basis, maybe 5 projects on the weekend! So, I am canceling the Dragon's Flight series and I am canceling Slime Air Hockey for bhz. But I will make better and new projects. I'll make better cartoons (maybe some shoop da whoop!), better games, and a bunch more.

That is the thread where you said you would beat me. Don't back down now.

AKA U need a mac, honestly I've probably gone to sites where there are viruses, but nothing happens to my mac!

Sorry to hear about the virus. sad

boinoinoi · 2009-01-28 22:43:21

Woah, sorry about the virus. I got one a while ago, but all it did was make the computer freeze and make everything unbelievably slow. We were happy though 'cause we have backup, which, quite apparently is a lack for you. sad . A cheaper alternative would be to keep your projects on a thumb drive, for mobility as well as safety. But don't listen to dingdong in this case, because really macs are like a "My first computer" and well, I could go on about this, but right now I should be focusing on cheering you up and supporting you. After the break, though, you don't have to go all out on Scratch, since we all deserve a vacation, some time or another, for whatever reason. The best of luck to you though, and I hope you can manage to recover your projects.

Not necessarily, Linux it's a VERY secure system, too. It's free, but WAY too complex (ex: You need to know how to use Terminals to manage the system, or install packages), and some program aren't compatible with it. Linux, Unix, and Macintosh viruses aren't widespread compared to Windows viruses. That's because these three systems are very hard to break into.

There are about 60,000 viruses known for Windows, 40 or so for the Macintosh, about 5 for commercial Unix versions, and perhaps 40 for Linux. Most of the Windows viruses are not important, but many hundreds have caused widespread damage. Two or three of the Macintosh viruses were widespread enough to be of importance. None of the Unix or Linux viruses became widespread - most were confined to the laboratory.

On Topic: I'm pretty sorry for the virus, Xkhaoz sad I've got severe virus cases two times. Luckily nothing was damaged, it was just annoying (the first closed all windows automatically, the second deleted all my desktop shortcuts, and created 3 fake antiviruses, probably to download more malware). Try getting as much security programs as possible. Here are some programs you should get:

Spybot Search & Destroy (FREE): Deletes Spyware (sends your private data to the creator) and Adware (shows you Ads).

AVG Antivirus (both Freeware, and Shareware versions, Shareware is $55 per year): A pretty decent antivirus, you can get a Free version, or buy a more complete paid version for $55/year.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus (Shareware, $40 per year): I use this and I think it's pretty secure smile You can download a 30-Day Trial, or buy it for $40 (1 year), or $60 (2 years, save %25)

Whoa, that was long. Hope this never happens to you again smile

O.K., I sorta said my story a bit wrong. Well, my brother was looking for backgrounds for his Myspace, and that's how we got the virus. Then my neighbor came and fixed it, but it deleted pretty much everything. And that includes valuable pictures. We have some really cool pictures, once a was getting chased by a peacock and we got pictures of that. And music and programs. But luckily, my brother's iPod has most of our songs. Oh, and archamage, I'll face you over the weekend, but the virus might of also deleted the wireless router settings, so you might have to wait.

archmage · 2009-01-29 19:46:37

Your virus should not affect your wii or your router settings.

About the virus, AVG is a very good free anit virus programs. There is a link to it above.

Also I would prefer to brawl with you ASAP.

I can't imagine using a computer without a firewall and AVG-like program...

archmage · 2009-01-29 20:17:31

I don't have a firewall and I don't actively scan with AVG. If you just be careful about the files you download then you should be fine.

P2P programs like limewire are a popular way of getting viruses. Also visiting bad websites can give you spyware, but if you get the McAfee site advisor it tells you if a website has any viruses or spyware.

Thanks! I'll start my comeback tomorrow! And hopefully, my begging will convince my mom to buy me a microphone! If I do get a microphone, I'll do a shoop da whoop video!

Xkhaoz · 2009-01-30 12:35:35

Well, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I made a new project, The Rock! The bad news is I think I won't be able to save my projects.

Xkhaoz · 2009-01-30 12:58:15

Another new project! It's called "Cats don't swim." Hope you like it!
