    I got infected after last relapse. The virus made Word and Excel useless. Is it going to be okay If i reset my computer? My p-habits have made me waste money because of stupid and uncritical behaviour... hope i dont need to go to the technic guys on the store. They may laugh at me behind my back Since i have been there more than once with my infected PC. But what they dont know is that i have an addiction. A serious addiction that lead to such things among others.... work for instance.

    Use linux operating system to go to place with NTD (network transmitted diseases). It is bullet proof.

    Porn and masturbation is so destructive. I bet most of you, like me, heard the opposite growing up in this sick modern world. It's pathological, leads to so many problems. Draining our life energy.

    Browsing. Have McCafee antivirus. Seems it didnt help much.... Yeah i heard it. "Watching porn is truly fine and normal". Bullshit. It only leads to selfdestruction.

    Laptop seems to work. But it doesnt give the signal sound when i turn it off. And i feel that it takes a bit longer to turning it-self off. I also feel that the Explorer Browser is acting a bit strangely... i also feel that there should be a sound when i log on to my account. But there arent any sound and it takes a bit longer to log on. I will write here If there are other things. Do you think this is considered as an infection? Seems that resetting doesnt help anything.

    Look man, we need you in this world. So many people are lost in the fog of PMO and other destructive habits. We need people like you who've woken up and realized how destructive PMO is. Together we can make the world a better place, by improving ourselves we'll improve the world.

    Just realizing the destructiveness of PMO is a giant step, few people in our modern world have that realization, being a part of this community contributes to share that knowledge.

    Not to mention how much a suicide would upset your family and others around you.

    We can't change what's been in the past, instead of focusing on the past, I'd advice focusing on positive action in the present. The present moment is the only thing we have control over.

    I work in the world of computers and have destroyed my pc's many times due to my addiction, like other posters here have said it's destructive and often I think I could have done a lot of productive things in my time looking at porn.

    If Malwarebytes bitdefender didn't work and depending on your operating system, a reset should clear up your clear your system as it wipes the partition your OS is on and restores the operating system from a back up on another partition, only options that remain, is if the virus is in your Masterboot record, these are serious viruses and you either need to delete the partition and recreate partition and install the operating system from scratch, this is time consuming and can be a pain to do.

    The start up sound and closing sound not being there could be because you need to customise your sounds to include these, your internet explorer acting weird is because you might have reintroduced malware from a USB or some other source (which means another reset)

    Best of luck!

    Seems to work better with Internet. A little slow though. I will see how it goes. Is there a possibilty that some criminals have taken over my computer now? They can trace me and press me for money????!!!! <:( i resetted the computer once more to be sure. Still no sound, but Could it be because it was HP sounds? It seems to be a little different now then when i first tried it. And HP also was the first page when i opened the browser, but now it seems to be msn.... i am confused... i have spent so much money on fixing computers due to PMO addiction. I am pissed off. Should have been critical , but when the urge was there I first used my iPad snd then i thought, "well i want to see Images on a bigger screen." So i used my computer without thinking stupid me.....probably because my head is full of Dopamine. No critical sense.

    Slowness of internet might be your home connection rather than something malicious, your HP sounds could be from a windows theme, the home page being HP might have been a preset in your internet explorer, you can change this option, these things shouldn't really matter if your PC is fully working. To be honest if I wasn't computer programmer I would have probably spent tons of cash on fixing my computers. Porn fog is one of these things which makes you compelled to do something, like you said your head is probably full of dopamine when you decided to go on your PC. My advice is use this as a warning to keep yourself from doing this next time.

    I wonder if you got the virus through an ad, then. You need a good firewall to keep out viruses that come through malicious websites. If you don't want to go with one of the major ones such as norton or kaspersky, Comodo is a popular free one.

    I doubt that you're going to be hounded for money. It's much easier for criminals to hunt for credit card numbers or put out browser jacking scams and wait for some dummy to send them cash.

    So...ehm....i chose to deliver my laptop to the guys at the store. Ehm....it was another pay for me... mmmm.........but now i can at least sleep well without thinking that some criminals have taken over my computer or...??? The shut-down sound is still not there...computer is fast...i have chosen another webbrowser---firefox---don't know...I have told my loved ones about my addiction...i couldn't stand it anymore not telling them...i will now...put my computer and my ipad a secure place before i go to bed each night....at least that is my goal....because now on day 11 I have no energy...no happiness for life...and headache.... failed my driving test for bus....will do it again...will quit this shit because it affects my whole life...my whole life...after a relapse I can't even go to toilet properly...that means I can't get out of the body which need to be out of the body...it takes about 4 weeks and then this part of the body starts to work.

    Not bulletproof, but certainly better than any Windows OS.
