umm well what do you know about computers? Have you ever tried to hack into a gibson before?

I'd just do a fresh reinstall of the OS.

p2p killed the computer star

sounds like you got some nasty trojan/virus that is renaming your important system files to stop you from fixing your computer

good luck.. you'll need it.

At this point a flatten/reinstall will cause you less headache then trying to hunt down everything on your box. Even if you did, you will never know if you got everything and the next thing you know you will be receiving gay **** in your email

... oh wai

My advice would be for you to stop using computers, and leave this stuff to the professionals.
