RE: virus

What kind of person creates these and plants them on random websites? I can't possibly imagine what they get from such an activity. Perhaps this is their way for compensating for a very small appendage?

Perhaps it's the kind of people who earn a living creating and selling anti-virus software..................

RE: virus

Same frame of mind that makes it "OK" to break in/tresspass so they can spray paint their BS on buildings, bridges, any large surface they can gain access to. None of it is "art", all of it is vandalism.
I'm saddened to think that the last vestages of consideration, and respect for others and their property, may be dying with our generation.

I've always suspected this was the case... My daughter picked up a virus on "Myspace" and the main thing that kept popping up on her computer were advertisements for an anti-virus program called "WinAntiVirus". Go figure....

RE: Re: RE: virus

Watch out for pop-ups that tout themselves as anti-virus programs which are in fact, the virus itself. One I got tangled up with early in my association with computers told me that it had detected some problems and did I want it to do a search... BIG MISTAKE!!! I ended up having to have everything deleted and my operationg system re-installed. It's trick was that no matter where in the pop-up box I would have clicked-- the entire box itself was one big, giant OK button.
