It's not always smooth carousel travel. Sometimes, that carousel manifests into a roller coaster. And when the train comes to a stop. Ugh. Shame - embarrassment - depression. And so we call it Manic Depression.
For the past week, I took a break from gaming and placed my controller on the tower. And I forgot about it. A few days ago, I was researching particular items for a character. It raised creepy flags. I targeted them in my task manager and disposed of them. But I wasn't sure how long the runDLL snooper was there. I wasn't sure if they breached my security and installed a package. Hours later, my computer became bipolar. The connections were highlighted in the wifi scanner menu. Perhaps, a creepy Bill Gates update? I assumed. No biggie. But then I expanded the search box — the cursor was erratic! It was moving all over the place like a skank on ecstasy at a party full of Chads. SOMETHING WAS WRONG.
So I scanned for viruses - negative. Then I went into Windows settings. Boogers. The cursor there, too, was manic! At that moment, I knew ... Someone snuck inside my Asshole and infected me with a computer STD. So I'd named my PC, Asshole.
I ran a scannow, and corrupted files were found and quickly fixed. "GOTCHA!" And for additional precaution, I rolled back to an earlier restore point. The problem went away.
An hour later, it returned. So finally, knowing I keep my PC backed up, I did a reset this time - keep my files. The virus, or hacker, was gone. Sigh.
I then contacted my security service, and we did a remote session. She ran some scans and fiddled with my settings and security software. "All clear, nothing is infected." She confirmed. Phew! I could relax now.
Not much time later, it returned. "MY GAD! THE VIRUS IS BACK!" A clever and sneaky little fucker. I assured myself. "What if ... this is a creepy-crawly hacker with backdoor privilege?" My gad, that would be illegal. Paranoia began fondling my frontal lobes. So I did a complete wipe, "EVERYTHING MUST GO!"
Shortly later, I reconfigured my PC and renamed it Asshole Rejuvenation. Let's see if they can penetrate this one!
During this ordeal, I was cryptically sharing what was happening. The following threads take place between Wednesday at 10:21 AM and Thursday at 11:25 AM:
Everything was fine, so I commenced relieving myself in this cesspool. But at the same time, in the back of my mind, HACKER. I began fishing.
@Mogpogs kept saying, "Over."
"My gad, could Moggy be the one pegging me without my permission?" Suspiciously, I entertained that cogitate.
An hour later, THE VIRUS RETURNS! The cursor's back to wacky-macky mode. Fuck! Then my suspect replied again, "Over."
"That's what Moggy means..." NEVER!
I quickly engaged in another remote session, but this time with a different techie and a foreign ISP. She scanned my PC and didn't see anything alarming. So I took control, pulled the search menu up, and said, "See! How do you explain that?" She didn't reply immediately.
She resumed control and fiddle-diddled with that area, then settings. Finally, she responded. "That's not what viruses do. There seems to be an error with your keyboard. This is a hardware problem."
When resetting Windows or factory restoration, Windows takes time to update ... unless you start the updates yourself. And so when it does update, it runs a scan for peripherals and other attached devices so it can assign the appropriate drivers.
When she mentioned a hardware problem, I assumed keyboard/mouse batteries were going dead. So I changed them. Still had the problem. I looked down at my tower and noticed something missing. But I wasn't sure what it was. So I saw the headphones and considered, "Maybe that's causing a USB overload?" I removed its cord from the PC, and so I thought! The cursor stopped moving on its own. "Uh?" I lifted the headphones, but they were still connected to the PC. "What cord did I just remove?" I followed the loose cable leading to the tower's blind side. I pulled the cord, and the game controller manifested.
The controller had fallen behind the tower, the thumbstick pressed against the floor, thus causing the cursor to move erratically.
I should've known that!
Whenever restoring Windows, it's good practice to remove upgrades and add-ons; you want to refresh it back to factory condition. So whatever that PC had at that time should only have that when restoring.
Something similar happened before involving a different controller. Except for that particular event, Microsoft was cockblocking Series from their system cleverly (they changed the software around whereas the controller would lag in movement.)
Ugh. My mania dropped quickly, like coming off a drug. I had convinced myself, "Someone with backdoor privilege was inside my Asshole illegally — trolling the Troll." It was embarrassing. I felt like a dipshit. A dummy. An idiot. A moron. I felt like a Reddit. Brutal.
PLEASE NOTE: THAT STORY WAS A METAPHORICAL BUFFET OF WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THIS NATION.

People aren't the paranoid ones
So I'm writing a usual short story. One of my characters owns a gun. So I had to research a particular known model, including the shoulder holster. Here comes the paranoia creeping into my net. The internet pauses. I quickly scan task manager and see a com port opened and a rundll32. I close...

Youchie Mouchie!
Ugh, DDoS attack mwah? Why? I don't understand. Was it that search earlier? Was it my Hawaii FiveO story that hasn't been published yet? Yikes. Creepy. Its just a fictional story, ladies. Perhaps it was yesterday when I insulted some - ugh, clearing throat - little bitches. But I have so, so...

What the hack?
So yesterday ... researching for a story (something I'd learned from Common Fucking Sense!) ... a rundll and COM Surrogate opened in my Task Manager. I close them off. Then my VPN turns off. So I disconnect from the internet, reconnect ... won't adjoin. Then I engage the cellular hotspot...
