kinda?

Kinda off-topic?

You didn't get the virus because you're a smart guy.

I don't feel sorry for idiots who get viruses. If you run good, updated AntiVirus software, and DONT run executables and scripts sent to you, your odds of getting a virus are extremely remote.

I laugh my *** off everytime I get e-mail messages from someone who's address book I'm in and it's like:

Important, please, to see this item. Then like attachment:

ASSRAPE.VBS


I mean, who actually double-clicks these things?? God, I love America...

Re: kinda?

Heh, I agree completely. Look at the stuff in the message on it.

Here is the file you asked for
or here is the file you would like
or here is something you were looking for
or if you are an idiot, and still reading this for a reason to run my virus, please just do it anyway.

Only people who run those things are the people who've bought their computer like, yesterday, or been drinking too much while on their computer.

You have those warnings and errors because you caught a virus and that happened because you don't keep you system updated and you do not have a good quality anti-virus software. Try ti install this one and you won't have any problems: http://www.trustdownload.com/Antivir...urity-7.0.html

if you are careful there is usually no need for active antivirus, if something happens open few free programs and scan

You do realize you are bumping a 9 yr old thread dont you? While I looked at the first few posts these guys seem like F***ing *ssholes because there are plenty unsavvy computer users in America who dont really know what they're clicking on.My mother is 64 yrs old and knows nothing about keeping antiviruses up to date and such.

haha what was true back then is still true today!

But please for the lover of America, please don't click on any links or attachments from random people whose email is (asdjkahsdkjhsakdhskajhdksahkds@msn.com) which is fancy computer language for inconsiderate-virus-sending-*****@msn.com. No matter what the title is DON'T CLICK!

I once clicked on a link because the title said "Hi I'm Tiffy here is my nude pictures" I couldn't resist...

Don't click on that E-Mail hyperlink above either, it could be a damn virus as well!

....that's actually only half true. i dont run ANY sort of anti-virus software on my computers and never been infected by any sort of virus. i just don't visit or open websites that i don't know.
anit-virus software just slows your computer down anyway.
