I thought I was safe from this if I installed windows on a completely separate harddrive... I clearly overestimated Microsoft's ability to make on operating system that does not act like literal malware. Oh well! I guess I'm 100% linux now.

RescaTux gives an easy UI that can fix it sometimes. Personally I prefer just going through the GRUB wiki page these days though. More reliable.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
