so you have a fresh restore from CD and contra is on it? How odd..

I bet you pluged it into the interweb with out a firewall or av and then got stung.. go to housecall.trendmicro.com and run the scanner there.. if you can..

and stop the pron and touching yourself.. this will help too..

I thought it was A,B,B,A Select Start

So I looked it up and found one for the WTF files

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=up+up+down+down+left+right+left+right+b+a+start

A secret fraternal guide for masturbation dating back to ancient mesopotamia. Set forth by one of the first branches of warring tribes composed almost entirely of ten-year old children who were taught by intoxicated shaman that self-image was more important than education. They became the first nation of Nintendous, on the Island of Contraceptive.

Sometimes, before we went on a date, we would up up down down left right left right B A start.
