[Bug 1323961] Re: virus infection (probably from prior corruption on my end), cannot install and/or takes too long!

[Goli]

The first time I ran the installation, I did not delete my former files.
I waited for more than 5 hours for the installer to "convert my files
into LVP", I think it is called, the Ubuntu file system. Finally, I shut
down the whole operation by force. upon restarting the computer, all the
files were no longer partitioned as Windows or empty space, but as an
unknown entity, not labelled as Kubuntu. Finally, I decided to reset my
computer, and delete all the old files. (Kubuntu startup would always
take at least 10 minutes, with the kubuntu logo waxing and waning). The
installer, when I opened it took very long, and it seemed to adjust its
appearance. What flashed was the update this installer option, before
disappearing and reappearing only with the option: gain information
about installer, or read notes, or something of that nature. When I
clicked this, sceptical of the well-functioning of the installer, the
error appeared, and I was able to send this report. I used a dvd-r to
install the OS (4.7GB). I suppose the virus has appended some tracks and
reroutes which caused this malfunctioning, and whose ultimate purpose I
ignore. If you wish for proof of the existence of this virus prior to my
attempted installation of Kubuntu, please simply ask. I suspect it may
be related to RealTek, to RealPlayer, to Frostwire, to Limewire, or to
an "antivirus, and detection system" which tried to take over my control
of the computer several years ago. Hopefully you find this background
information useful.
