Though not a believer in soul-mates, you are closer to one that I'd ever get without my resorting to blasphemy. I remember the first time I held your hand. I was expecting sparks; a skip in the beat of my heart; a shiver down my spine; But when I held your hand (and you didn't... Continue Reading →
Remove Virtumonde.gen from Windows XP
