WTH??! I think my PC got a virus today!
Not long after I sent my meager vocal file to Bapu something logged into my PC and installed NagBap!  And, now, it won't let me uninstall it! Help!!!

you should have gone thru dropbox or some third party and not logged directly into The Bapu server. the only thing you can do now is a complete reinstall of windows.

That won't help, a fresh install will only delay a Bap nag. Big thanks to you and all keeping him well entertained through my busy season.

We suspect that NagBap was originally targeted at Iran Mooch but it is now infecting every computer it comes in contact with.

Every five minutes I'm getting a pop-up window that says "Well?" followed by one that says "Is everything done?" that only gives two reply options: "Ya" and "Ja" - Not sure what it all means...

There's some AI involved too: if you don't give the proper response, it will start calling you on the phone.

I think I actually did get a virus from a link posted here a few weeks ago. I clicked on it and a Google message came up saying the web site was known to have several virus's. I Ctrl-Del'd without clicking on anything and did a hard reboot. Over the next couple days my connection started getting slower and slower and my browser was hijacked by something called 'clicksour' iirc. Every time I clicked on a link, I was redirected to this 'click sour' site and my laptop would lock up. I ended up having to wipe my laptop and do a fresh install. I didn't say anything because nobody else said anything about it, and I wasn't 100% sure that's where it came from and I didn't want to cause any ill will.

And the worst part of it is, anytime you start trying to compose or write something, every chord defaults to Am.
And if doing orchestral stuff, instead of 1st violin, 2nd violin, viola, etc., one gets: 1 electric bass, 2 electric bass, 3 electric bass...
Having 24 electric basses all playing Am at the same time, and all slightly out of tune and time with each other is rather annoying.

To get rid of NagBap you have to throw yourself into the buning pit with it, and just pray that the rest of humanity is saved from it's evil clutches before you both sink into the fiery abyss.
Actually I'm probably not being serious enough about it here, you'd probably need to be a bit more thorough than that.

Hmm... I bet Bapu was going crazy today since he wasn't able to badger as many people about sending in their samples!

Actually I tried to take the forum into admin mode so that I could just post away freestyle. Dinnit werk.
