TPU's WCG/BOINC Team

No electricity yesterday, and now no internet till tomorrow. I have some work left but not alot...
 
5 detected malware and 157 spyware. My desktop needs more scrubbing.

It's got a full cache of tasks running and those are clean.

I got my coworker's daughter a giant stuffed dog as a present and I'm getting priceless looks as I work to work.

Sounds like a windows re installation is in order. I would take no chances. Nuke everything.
 
Fixed a neighbours pc today, which they kindly donated , along with 2 others which will be distributed to those less fortunate than me.

Over 600 malwares and so much Asus bloatware it was like being in fat camp.

Add to that a new Amd driver install at 60kbps, 250 mb at 60kbps....you do the maths it was a lòng wait to play with an crappy apu.

@Toothless we need a pic as proof please, of the dog not the date.

Well since I can't upload from my phone nor link in pictures. Here is a link.

Maybe someone could clean it up? I gotta talk to W1z about the TPU app.

My poor OS and all of your nukes.
 
who to the what now?

you lucky devil :toast:
Lucky until he bakes a heatsink for her ... :p

Show no mercy. Cleanse that thing. We speak from experience. Malware has a way of coming back. The only sure fire way to cleanse is to reinstall your os. It will make everything seem faster too. A fresh os is a good os.
 
Try bitdefender total security 2015. I have successfully cleaned things with it that other anti virus programs couldn't. There is a free 30 days trial and often you find offers for free 6 months trials. In any case it couldn't hurt to try
 
With the challenge now basically finished I have a question. Is there any way to have a look at the PPD or points / hour of runtime or something for the different PCs? I would like to compare how are the different CPUs i have used in the past month(i3, i5, ulv, i5 mobile, amd, xeon etc.) are comparing to one another
 
Any idea on why my 680 ek copper block would have black spots on it? My supremacy CPU block is copper too and its got nothing on it and water in the rest still looks crystal clear.

Might be time to shut the wcg rig down and clean the loop before summer.
 
Well it appears that I found the bug that wasn't letting my networking work. Yaaaaaay. Dumb malware.. I'll be back in WCG later today.

Also I got a picture of the girl and she's pretty cute.

While I am curious, dont share the picture here. Most people wont appreciate having their photo on a public forum without their consent. And glad to hear you resolved your malware problem :)
