"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I'm not very lucky lately. Software I get off mininova and other torrent sites seem to have this fake virus alert program.

Don't know its name, when I come across it, I reinstall my OS.


Anyway, program works like so, after you install your stuff, it starts annoying you, that your system had security threats, etc. Offers you Micro something program, and a link to register it, etc, etc, etc... Total Rubish!

Anyway, my anti Virus programs and anti spyware don't detect that crap! That scares the hell out of me!

I've used NOD32, Symantec Corporate Client, Spybot S&D, Windows Defender. None of those detect the damn thing!

The only way to find out if your program is infected is to install it and see what happens. Please help!
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

1. Maybe you shouldn't download this crap in the first place.

2. If you do. Use sandboxie: http://www.sandboxie.com/

3. When you are looking for an answer, then give details, like what it is called. I can't help you if you don't tell me exactly what is causing the problem.

AVG Free is the best free Anti-Virus.

Kaspersky and NOD32 are the best paid antivirus (I know because I'm into the warez scene and all that!). Send me a PM and I can get you them.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

More than likely its corrupted your registry, you will need to do a regedit and check what keys have been modified or damaged. I remember getting some spyware crap called winantivirus pro 2007 on my machine last year, it literally shat all over my OS, took me nearly a week to remove it.. Be careful what you download, even mp3's can contain viruses

Don't steal software. Dumbass.

What same things? None of them use the same "things" in any meaningful way, and before you start to argue realize that *I* have written core sections of several of those programs ....

ummm... okay? Argue? I could give less of a shit to argue... and give even lesser of a shit that you write those "things"... I call it "things" because I don't even care about what it's called.

I was just trying to help him find a good anti-virus.

Care to add something that matters to the thread?

The advice about not stealing software pretty much covers it.

Also, AVG-Free isn't that good, but McAfee, Trend and Eset (NOD32) are. http://housecall.trendmicro.com is a nice option for free, but it's not there as a full time safety net.

I've used Trendmicro for the past 5 years. Good AV program and doesn't lag the computer.

Had one issue a few months back where a trojan got on my comp and spammed pop ups advertising AV software. If you know the name of the software being advertised, you can google it and find manual instructions on how to remove it from your comp. And if that doesn't work, there's usually free malware removal software that you can run to remove the files from your hd and registry
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
