My favorite, by far, is viruses/malware. I like inventing my own ways of removing them rather than using someone else's tools. For example, the Java one which goes into the registry, export the key, delete the key, import what you exported. The key with the Java code has some error introduced into it so you can't read or modify it. That also means it won't export. But you can still delete the entire key and bad crap gets deleted with it.
And to keep it from running in the first place I add my own registry key with a Debug process to disable MSHTA, which runs Javascript processes (if I'm remembering correctly). Then a reboot and the key can be deleted without it reinfecting itself because the script isn't running.
Yeah, I know I can just download the fixer for it, and I have, but not until I kill it myself first. My relationship with computers these days is really kind of sick. I have no frigging interest in them whatsoever...unless there's something wrong with them. Then I can't leave them alone. I remember when I used to love working computers...
