Sorry about the caps but this has made me more angry then anything before...
While I was at university today, I found out that some guy from my ISP (works for Shaw, which is no longer running with @Home).
Anyway, they put on a new cable modem. When I heard this, I figured that as usual, they disabled the router sharing I had going between the 2 computers in the house.
They not only messed the whole computer up (they somehow made it so one network card doesnt work. They must have used some script or something. Nothing shy of a format will fix this I'm certain)...
... This part has me in total shock...
They DELETED my C:\Windows\Cabs folder!! I know they did this to prevent me from re-installing ICS on the system! (which they also uninstalled first)
Then to cover up deleting it, they edited the registry to make it look like the folder was never there!
How do I know? This is how: (From my registry)
[HKLM]\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup
CommandLine - /T:C:\WININST0.400 /SrcDir=Y:\WIN98 /IZ /IS /IQ /IT /II /NR /II /C /U:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This is the directory where I first Installed from (Y:\WIN98) Notice the CAPS lock on the Folder name.
Then, after I coppied the Win98 Cab files to C:\Windows\Cabs, I modified the SourcePath value to:
C:\WINDOWS\CABS
Again, I used all caps. I do this all the time. Why? I dunno, just to make it look normal? (call me a freak 🙂)
Anyway, when I checked the registry when I got home this is what I see:
SourcePath - d:\WIN98
THEY DELETED MY CAB FILES AND EDITED MY REGISTRY!!!!
There is no fscking way that can be legal!! This pisses me off so fscking much!!
I wanna sue the bastards for invasion of privacy or something. Do I have any kind of case? There's no way they can be legally allowed to delete my files!!
