okay I just installed a game I havent played about 2 weeks ago I have it in my drive. Then all of a sudden it just started to load up. Am I being hacked? Why would it do this all of sudden?

You should try to download a virus definition for your antivirus. It doesn't matter if it comes from 1998 as long as the virus definition is up-to-date.

Are you sure you didn't miss click it?

Goblins. This is the only logical answer.

Is the game CD still in your drive? Maybe the auto-play got triggered somehow.

Rot. Utter rot!

Anyone with a degree in Grimmtechnology knows that goblins aren't technically savvy enough to operate a computer, let alone run some kind of autorun.ini file remotely!

It's obviously the Computer Monkeys. Similar in apperance to the Beer Monkeys*, these otherwise harmless creatures do strange and mystical things to your computer while you're not around. Windows magically open of their own volition, browsers magically redirect to less-than-salubrious web pages, and they somehow reverse all those patch upgrades you so diligently spent all that time on. It's all the fault of those pesky Computer Monkeys.


* The Beer Monkeys are creatures who come into your room after you get back in from a night on the pop, and ransack your bedroom, throwing your neatly folded clothes into a crumpled mess, vomiting copiously just a foot away from the toilet, and drinking all your water. The Beer Monkeys are regular visitors at the Zopester house. I don't know how to rid myself of them, short of staying sober. I have - so far - been unaware of a visit from the Computer Monkeys...
