    Windows XP SP2 RC2 Got Boogered the Other Day.

    No offense to Boogs, my Windows got boogered the other day. The last things I remember doing was running the MyDoom tool from Symantec and then created a WinNX unattended ISO. Then later at night when I got home to install my monitor I was suddenly logged into this Test account (with Admin rights) after starting up the PC. Upon examining Task Manager, I had 45 processes running (I normally max out at 32 processes) but only 10-12 of them were listed.

    I tried running a virus scan (Zone Alarm antivirus) and that program seemed boogered too. I system restored successfully to the previous day's configuration but fearing that it was a virus behind this I just reformatted the drive to be safe.

    I love it. I think we ought to standardize the term. Anytime your computer goes belly-up, it GOT BOOGERED. Heck, we will all understand what it means.

    Boogered:

    v. boo·gered , boo·ger·ed, booger·ed

    adj.

    1. The art of inadvertently deleting threads on a bulletin board when you are only supposed to move them.
    2. Fraudulently increasing your post count with the subtle use of spam.
    3. Falsifying your qualifications in order to convince the Japanese education authorities that your are the right person to teach English.

    I agree...Saying it got "Lynchknotted" just doesn't sound right.


    And Rev, that was hilarious...Boogs

    Rev, we may need a new category titled MY BOOGERED COMPUTER, or something similar.

    I restored an image then, but later on I reformatted and installed a slipstreamed SP2 RTM.

    There are many who have had problems with SP2. Although I've yet to secretly test it out on my school's computers.
