12:05:00 <electrohead> o/
12:08:00 <gee_man> ey
12:25:00 <electrohead> o/
12:25:00 <electrohead> eyyy
12:33:00 <gee_man> what a fucking headach proctoru is
12:33:00 <gee_man> headache*
12:41:00 <electrohead> what what is?
12:41:00 <electrohead> lol
12:41:00 <gee_man> 'proctoru'
12:41:00 <gee_man> compulsory university exam anti-chaeting software
12:42:00 <electrohead> ahh
12:42:00 <electrohead> I see
12:42:00 <electrohead> yeah I'm looking at it right noww
12:43:00 <gee_man> it's like what highschoolers get on their pc, only it's not the principal watching everything they do, it's some random overseas
12:43:00 <gee_man> theoretically, they don't install malware
12:43:00 <gee_man> in practice, they do
12:43:00 <gee_man> i'm still getting random popups
12:44:00 <electrohead> can you prove that, though?
12:45:00 <gee_man> i could if i cbf
12:46:00 <electrohead> cbf?
12:46:00 <gee_man> couldn't be fucked
12:47:00 <electrohead> couldn't be fucked?
12:47:00 <electrohead> lol.
12:47:00 <gee_man> no malware in years, and i install proctoru, suddenly i've got scripts running, apps running strangely
12:47:00 <electrohead> could you possibly send me the binary?
12:47:00 <gee_man> in fact the last time i had malware was when i last installed proctoru in 2019
12:48:00 <gee_man> you got an upload page?
12:48:00 <gee_man> no point, really, tho
12:48:00 <gee_man> it's a logmein app
12:48:00 <gee_man> the file is logmeinrescue
12:49:00 <gee_man> the scripts they run are installed in the background while they're remote accessing
12:49:00 <gee_man> it's not in the binary
12:51:00 <gee_man> they left a script in startup, so it was fine until i rebooted, then a logmein applet command prompt window popped up, along with another prompt window i couldn't see
12:51:00 <gee_man> the script was named "Program"
12:51:00 <gee_man> i checked about 10 minutes later for it, and it disappeared
12:52:00 <electrohead> there's totally a binary, if it's installed
12:52:00 <electrohead> I know you can find it
12:53:00 <gee_man> i don't know how to find it, i'm not that proficient
12:54:00 <gee_man> windows keep losing focus
12:54:00 <gee_man> it's annoying af
12:57:00 <electrohead> look in task manager? services?
12:58:00 <gee_man> i've looked
12:59:00 <gee_man> i spent most of yesterday looking for it
12:59:00 <gee_man> any time i get somethin suspicious and take a screenshot, they close the mspaint process
13:06:00 <gee_man> the other thing is, my assignment stopped working, they probably corrupted it after they uploaded it to an assignment cheating service
13:09:00 <electrohead> "they close the mspaint process"
13:09:00 <electrohead> huh??
13:09:00 <gee_man> well, yeah, but that might've been gremz, i dunno
13:09:00 <gee_man> kinda got confused over who's doin' what
13:09:00 <electrohead> gee_man: go to bed, you're having a bad day
13:10:00 <gee_man> i just woke up after sleeping for 18 hours, about 4 hours ago
13:11:00 <electrohead> you need to chill, then
13:11:00 <electrohead> you alright, though?
13:11:00 <gee_man> yeah i'm fine
13:12:00 <gee_man> nothin' i can do about the malware, so i'll just live with it
13:13:00 <gee_man> don't get me started electrohead
13:13:00 <electrohead> you already got started
13:13:00 <electrohead> :p
13:13:00 <gee_man> lol
13:13:00 <electrohead> hopefully my magic calms you down lol
13:41:00 <gee_man> i know what happened, someone right clicked my assignment folder and went to 'restore previous version'
13:42:00 <gee_man> that's the only explanation
13:42:00 <gee_man> set me back a couple of days on my assignment
13:44:00 <gee_man> probably whoever the proctoru guy 'fazil q' referred the malware to
13:48:00 <gee_man> ok ok i'll shutup and just continue doing my assignment
13:49:00 <gee_man> continue rewriting from a previous version, that is
14:08:00 <gee_man> i know what happened
14:09:00 <gee_man> after i restored from a previous version of windows (that doesn't restore personal files like my assignment) i relaunched my programming ide and it restored old versions of my assignment
14:09:00 <gee_man> apparently my ide stores all versions of my file in registry, so when i relaunched my ide, it reloaded the 'last' version of the file, but not the file from the hdd
14:09:00 <mickey> problem solved
14:10:00 <gee_man> no, the problem isn't solved, because i have to rewrite my assingment from the 'last' version, which is actually a version from last week
14:13:00 <gee_man> hm. files seem to be disaappearing
15:44:00 <doggyrat> hello
15:44:00 <gee_man> it's the frenchman!
15:44:00 <gee_man> ey doggyrat
15:45:00 <doggyrat> gee_man: hello, i do speak some French but i am not the dirty Frenchman
15:45:00 <gee_man> hm. command prompt window just popped up
15:46:00 <gee_man> and now just another
15:47:00 <doggyrat> yesterday i had a kind of panic attack at work, we completely confused and did not know where to start work
15:47:00 <gee_man> these command prompt windows were unlike the other ones, they were blank, couldn't see what they were installing
15:47:00 <gee_man> that sucks doggyrat, are you overworked?
15:48:00 <doggyrat> for sure my boss was not very happy , but she showed me where to start and what to do , after that i calmed down and could do the job
15:48:00 <gee_man> maybe you're suffering a kind of aneurysm from donating too much blood
15:49:00 <doggyrat> gee_man: i do have psychological problems and some time that has bigger influence on my life
15:49:00 <gee_man> that sounds like that might be more likely, then
15:49:00 <gee_man> you're probably overwhelmed from working so much, so your brain is fighting it
15:50:00 <doggyrat> no , it is not because of donating plasma, that was more than a week ago
15:50:00 <gee_man> that's what i mean, not plasma donation, but psychological
15:50:00 <doggyrat> that might be what happened yesterday
15:51:00 <doggyrat> overwhelmed from work
15:51:00 <gee_man> yeah, sounds like it
15:51:00 <doggyrat> basically apart of the guy cleaning the windows , i am alone doing all the work
15:52:00 <gee_man> have you been experiencing ringing in the ears recently?
15:53:00 <doggyrat> no ringing in my ears fortunately :)
15:53:00 <gee_man> definitely not an aneurysm then
15:54:00 <doggyrat> just got up got my second cup of coffee and turned on the computer , to enjoy a short chat with Australia
15:55:00 <doggyrat> need to leave early today , because i do have the keys and i have to make sure i am there in time
15:55:00 <gee_man> ok, no problemo
15:55:00 <doggyrat> i am still here for about 15min enjoying my coffee
15:56:00 <gee_man> also, the french aren't dirty
16:01:00 <doggyrat> i know they are not dirty , but i have heard the expression dirty Frenchman somewhere before in my childhood
16:03:00 <doggyrat> it is depressing to realize that i am not even able to clean properly, ok i do not love cleaning job, but these are the job providing less stress
16:03:00 <doggyrat> but doing deep cleaning almost alone , that is too much and i am pissed off
16:04:00 <gee_man> hm ok
16:04:00 <gee_man> i didn't mind cleaning when i did it
16:05:00 <doggyrat> how are your studies going
