Unfortunately, a colleague of mine thought it was funny to F#@& with my computer and he put that rick roll S#!t on my macbook. Everytime I open Safari or Firefox it starts up with that Rick Roll bs. How does it work and How do I fix it? It's really annoying and I don't have time for this stupid crap. Strangely, my Opera browser still works though.

Btw, is there any way I can get him back lol? I'd like to return the favor but not just Rick Roll him...but something even better like make his entire screen black or have a a bunch of naked guys on his screen non stop. Preferably if I could do it by USB but i'm open to any other ways too lol. I really want to get back at this guy.

It's not enough to succeed. Others must fail!

To stop it... ctrl+alt+del - end session on firefox, and when opening firefox, it asks to "restore session" - hit "new session".

or try this: Reply #31

Rick Roll link: (just copy/paste/save it on notepad or something - do not "click" or else it will go off again)

other pranks: (not so much like rick but it's also good)

everytime I open up firefox it goes off, even when I click on new session so it's still there. I'm on a Mac; does that affect anything?
It always opens up www.theinternetiseriousbusiness.com

Thanks a lot it was really annoying. I didn't realize it was something as simple as setting it to my homepage. Oh and I was wondering, is there a way I can set my friend's desktop or screensaver to a picture that he can't find? Thinking of putting lemon party on his laptop lol.

If I want to hide from someone I'd rename it, or hide it inside of a folder, inside of a folder inside of a folder. Like a box inside of a box etc...

Just make it difficult to find, and say inside of his music folder instead or something way off track like.
