Interesting, I didn't know git gave you that stuff on Windows. I figured it was an alias or something. Out of curiosity, did you happen to dir that directory while the "file" was in it?
So in the process of trying to fix an sd card permissions issue I fucked up the permissions file. A lot of my apps wouldn't work because they were linked to the sd card which the phone could no longer access. I didn't have anything important on the device itself so I just did a factory reset. As soon as it booted back up I got a "google play services has stopped" notification and for some reason it won't let me access the internet now either. I know how I fucked up before but after a reset I thought it was basically wiped and reinstalled so I don't know how that would have anything to do with it. Any ideas? Its an LG Optimus Fuel LGL34c.
No, but I get this problem without the SD card inserted as well.
Did you unmount your SD card and physically remove the SD card before doing the factory reset? Some factory resets are written poorly or corrupt SD card data and software relations.
Edit: Also more than likely there is one application that is not updating back to its previous state which is causing this issue. Is the phone rooted, does it have a specific ROM install, was it running Kit Kat or lower before?
Yes, I removed the sd card first just in case I could re-link the apps from the sd card. I came with kitkat and its whatever the LG rom is. The phone was rooted but I think doing a factory reset probably got rid of that.

I'm really not sure what else you could do except for go to root and install a whole new ROM instead. Looks like an LG specific issues from the Googling that I've done.
Or before you do that just uninstall every app you can, while in airplane mode and see if the phone can function, if not then sign out as well and try. If at any point stuff is working, start installing your apps one by one and logging in with your account.
Ok so this may seem somewhat counterproductive. What is the best way to get a bunch of viruses? Alternatively I seem to remember talk of collecting them on here a year or two back. If anyone still has a collection, I would love to get a copy of it. My friend works for the university IT department and they gave him a computer to infect to test their anti-malware system on the network.

There's a great YouTube channel for that. This guy gets old DOS viruses and shows them off.
I am looking for a way that I can run my Steam games while off my network without my anti-badshit software sucking up system resources.
I have noticed that my protection software constantly checks every file I access to check for "bad stuff" which results in a performance hit. Basically what I am looking for is some way to create a special account on my Win7 PC that operates offline and disables everything but the OS and the game I am playing. Online games are obviously a different story.

I get this problem on my laptop (Civilization won't run with a default install of the security software). You could ignore the files specific to the programs or games you are running. However they would still be using resources in the background.
Options I can think of -
Option 1 Make an account through parental control that removes access to the Internet.
Option 2 Make a user account and disable the network adapter from within it as administrator.
Option 3 Create the new user account. Under your domain, select 'no Internet group policy'. Add it under the security filtering. Under advanced find the user account you made and select OK.
Under the new account obviously don't allow any other software and when installing on other accounts just select every account but this one.

Can't you just close the antivirus or kill the process when you're going to use Steam?
I can't just kill those processes because I run in user mode rather than admin. I know Norton used to have an option to leave it running but have it not do anything.
I am very new to Windows 8 and so far the user experience leaves a lot to be desired.
I am currently in the process of downloading numerous titles via steam and when I leave the PC for an hour or so I come back and find it sleeping! The first time this happened I went in to the power settings and changed it from balanced to high performance. This worked great for a few days but now it keeps changing itself back to balanced.
I went and tried the built-in troubleshooting features of Win8 and it looks like Win8 considers the high performance setting to be the trouble and it wants me to select balanced to clear the trouble. WTF??? I have a similar problem with Windows Update. I always set it to download and let me decide when to apply updates. I use that setting because I NEVER want the computer to shutdown, reboot or sleep without my expressly telling it to do so yet Win8 acts like my choice is a problem rather than it being the problem by not accepting my choice.
Every time I try to plug in a USB 2.0 device into my HTPC I get the "this is a USB 1 port, your device could be operating faster." That's a new one!
Not even going to bother debugging. the HTPC is over 5 years old now and will be rebuilt from the ground up when Windows 10 arrives. The only thing I actually need USB2 for is VHS digitizing. That can wait.
After much Googling the power setting problem I am experiencing appears to be a feature and not a bug of Windows 8... Thanks Obama!
On a related note, this PC came with McAfee installed (which I prefer over Norton) but every now and then something happens and a popup window appears from McAfee that boots me out of whatever game I am currently playing. If it is a Bethesda game then I am just screwed because I can not get back in. Most other games I a can just click on the taskbar and get back in. I have not found an option in McAfee yet to disable this annoying feature.

How do I get this crap to stop?
I currently have 2 settings for my Windows 8 laptop, the 'high performance' one will only ever put the screen to sleep but the laptop keeps running.
Uninstall all the OEM stuff.
Make your own power profiles.
Does that help?
