Some piece of shit who considers himself my friend, who will remain nameless (namely because I don't know who it was), decided to take some initiative and install Block Checker. This absolutely garbage pile of shit piece of software is apparently meant to let you know if someone has blocked you on MSN Messenger.
First of all, I hate it when people install software on my computer without my prior knowledge and consent. It just aggravates me. It aggravates me even more when the software decides it doesn't want to cede to my uninstall commands, and decides to latch on and continue to bother the hell out of me while trying to carry on MSN.
On top of that the premise of this piece of "software" is just stupid. If someone blocked you, they don't want to talk to you, who cares? Why do you need to know if someone doesn't want to talk to you? I come from a school that teaches "if someone doesn't want to talk to me, fuck them." I tend to block people from time to time, simply because I'm busy and they're talking their face off to me about the difference in color between mustard seed and canola seed, or whether or not they should dye their hair from brown, to dark brown. Crap I generally don't care about.
So, here I am facing a three-pronged problem:
- Some bastard installed software on my computer.
- Software sucks.
- It actually does suck. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work, because I refuse to believe that there isn't one person on my buddy list that doesn't have me blocked.
- Damn thing won't obey commands. I tell it to get the hell off my computer, and it stays there.
- It interrupts my typing any time someone changes their name... or when I first load up a window... or when someone first messages me.
- I don't even agree with the damn concept.
About 45 minutes ago I finally figured out how to get rid of this nuisance. I removed it from the list of programs that automatically run on startup using Easy Cleaner (I forgot how to do it using Windows). Then I just straight up deleted the intruder from Program Files, deciding not to care about having it in my Add/Remove Programs List ... I'll figure this out later. A quick reboot and one of my problems are solved.
Since I've suffered through this crap for well over a month, I'm still going to try and figure out who did this. Once I find out who did it, I'm going to put them in a burlap sack. See how they like that.
