Sometimes I don't know why I even bother

for the truly paranoid

There are people not worth going over to their house and taking their computers and running over the machines repeatedly with their cars so that you can fix their systems and assure them that they don't have a virus...no wait, maybe THAT would be worth it.

So here it is, Malware Monday! The day were the internet will end for a bunch of idiots with computers who don't follow the news, have antivirus on the computers and/or smoke weed (yeah I am blaming Cannabis- get over it- some of you can blame Satan too- I hear he's got a free time slot at 10:30) What is really happening today- that is if you read the news or watch it or listen to it. IS that the FBI is taking down the safety net servers that will remove X amount of idiots who don't read the- well you get the point and didn't do the FREE FIX or have an up to date Antivirus worth spit from having network access.

Is their computers ruined?
No
Can they get back on the Net?
yes.

All they have to do is nuke their OS and reinstall it.
Nuking- i.e. low level formatting the hard drive with remove the threat/infection and reinstalling windows will restore the DNS controls

there did that hurt?

Yes, but only the idiot's egos.


AND THAT is life according to me.
