So I’m screwing around on my pc, specifically about to look at my apache logs and thinking about blogging ‘How Google is Evil’ and instead of clicking Program Files, I click Documents & Settings. I ask myself, “why did I just click this?”.  And then I see it…..User MCX1.

WHAT THE !@$%^&!!!!!!

..so I freak out.  User MCX1 has been on my computer since May. How can I miss this? I run virus scans daily. I look inside the folder, frantically clicking around for traces of trojans….and then I see it. Recent Documents/WINBOM.Ink.

OMG!

I take a look at these shortcuts.  They go nowhere.  I see an Ink to a folder called sysprep.  At this point I decide to unplug the cable modem right after I google WINBOM.

“This article describes the path order that the Microsoft System Preparation (Sysprep) tool uses to locate a Winbom.ini Answer file”……..so its an official file from Microsoft.  Still shady.  I google MCX1 user. “If you have any problem with your current MCE-to-XBOX360 configuration and you have to set up a new connection (with new XBOX password)”. I start reading the page…

!@#$!!@#!#!$!@#@!

..so what the !#@$ is that supposed to mean?

I’m a dumb-ass.  I set up my XBOX/MCE crap back in May and haven’t used it since.
