Although people who create these computer viruses should rot in jail for the rest of their lives and then burn in hell for eternity for being such annoying little pests with nothing better to do than to make other people miserable, there is not much we can do about that. But once our computers are infected, at least we should know how to get rid of those viruses. Personally, I always ask my father to get rid of the viruses. After having my computer attacked twice in the course of a month or two by the same virus (and apparently both my father and sister's laptops were also attacked by it), my father wrote a guide on his blog to getting rid of this particular virus. So if you find yourself being harassed by fake virus alerts (which is the virus itself) and unable to open up any programs, you know what to do in advance.

Not much we can do? Of course there is, don't click on links on fb, use good AV like Kaspersky or Nod32 and if you really want to be sure, switch to linux. Ubuntu just released a new version.
Ummm...dude...I do hope you're kidding...
It would make a lot more sense to say that Mac or linux developers or tech support companies release viruses.
Moshe -- I meant there is not much we can do about the rotting in jail and burning in hell part.
I told you many times to stop using Internet Explorer. It won't help get rid of viruses. It will help prevent getting them.
Hold on, you're using IE?!
BWAHAHA!!!
Then you deserve getting infected!
That's like leaving the outside door open and then complaining about getting robbed!

A drama in the Vatican.
I know, I know.. I tried using Mozilla Firefox after cleaning my computer from the most recent virus, but it was just awful. I felt very uncomfortable using Firefox, so I went back to IE. As for Opera -- I don't really want to download yet another thing.
Moshe -- I knew it wouldn't be long until you made some sort of comment like that.
Hannah, better download another thing than another virus. Check out Opera and if don't like get Chrome - these are two good browsers on todays browser market.
New version of FF released last week, supposed to be even faster than before.
What's uncomfortable about FF?!
I don't know... We'll see about Opera.
I have Firefox 3.5.6, and my problem isn't how fast it is but how it looks. I tried fiddling around with the settings, but it did not improve much.
hey, its annie, just try to stick with ff for 3 weeks and it will be fine. u will get used to it eventually.
I don't know, Annie, maybe it look better on the screen you're using. I know it looks okay on my father's laptop, but on my computer, I just don't like it.
Nice to see you here, though. :]
Praise the Lord! Google is stopping support of IE6 in gmail, google docs and other sites.
If you have IE6 and go to their sites, ERROR!
It's a good thing I have IE7 then and everything works just fine.
@Moshe - they didn't go that far enough to seize on Gmail support for IE6 :(
@Hannah - no, it's bad thing you have IE7 - at least IE8 please
"We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010. After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar. Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above."
Well later in 2010 is too far away... I've spent half of January battling with IE6 issues on 3rd party site... Grrrrrrrr
I want to use selectors, dag namit!!!

- I am a student at Stern College (Yeshiva University) and a young writer with an interest in observing the world and recording in writing what I see, feel, and think. I appreciate expression and most forms of art, which are themselves forms of expression infused with beauty. It is my belief that beauty can be found in the most unexpected places and people if one only looks for it. It can also be found in fear, in anger, in despair -- and it is the job of the writer, the poet, the artist, the photographer, the filmmaker, the actor, the musician, and the performer to convey that to the audience... And I want to be that writer. I also want to be the girl who lives life loving every moment of it and being thankful to G-d for all the wonderful things in this world even when it seems difficult. I love to learn, to understand new ideas, to see the breathtaking way in which things fall into place. I want to get the most out of every moment of this thrilling rollercoaster we call life.

Words of Wisdom
~ Eric A. Burns
"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who
dream only by night."
~ Edgar Allan Poe
"The dreamer whose dreams are non-utilitarian has no place in this world. In this world the poet is anathema, the thinker a fool, the artist an escapist, the man of vision a criminal."
~ Henry Miller
"Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears."
~ Edgar Allan Poe
"There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love."
~ Christopher Morley
"Creativity is a drug I cannot live without."
~ Cecil B. DeMille
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."
~ Aldous Huxley
"There is only one admirable form of the imagination: the imagination that is so
intense that it creates a new reality, that it makes things happen."
~ Sean O'Faolain
