Lava, it's a good thing

AVG antivirus software has a very important update available. It consists of definitions for several nasties prowling the web. Symantec, Panda, Sophos, etc. will probably follow suit and have new definitions available for all that like to pay for antivirus software. Adaware has an update available for their free version. Spybot just posted three updates for Spybot Search and Destroy. Stop what you are doing and download all this free protection! Just having the programs on your computer won't get the job done. Do all updates and then USE the programs. Have you checked Windows Update lately to see if the boys and girls at Microsoft have blessed your operating system with security patches, etc.? Is this getting through to anyone? Is this message being received? Hello? Hello?

Fellow Netizens, if you are not taking charge of your 'personal confuser' and protecting your cyber existence then you are endangering the whole community! Please, please use caution and be extremely paranoid when it comes to spyware and virus infections. We are all in this together like it or not. I have no clue as to what posesses people to write all this trash and they should all pray to their evil gods that I never become ruler of the known universe. I will pitch their sorry carcasses into a raging volcano and laugh as they plop the lava. Worthless slugs! Satan must hold seminars for script kitties, the folks at Gator/Gain/Claria, the people that write Word Perfect (ever tried their tech support? - don't bother, I don't think it really exists), McAfee and the rest of the ne'er do wells that have clogged our information highways. I wish I could meet someone at the Gator/Gain/Claria house in the middle of a ring and do battle with them! It'd not be a pretty site. Weatherbug my ass...

If you search through the links on this page you'll find there is ample software available to setup a nice barrier of protection. If you like what they have and can afford a donation then do it. It you are living the "lifestyle of the poor and pitiful" then download and use it. That's the reason they call it freeware. If you insist on using Weatherbug (Weatherscope is its current name I think), Precision Time, My Web, My Search, etc., then you need help and are probably so far gone you can't even realize it. Maybe some relative or friend will see your FOOLISH way and intervene. K, time to take my grumpy butt outta here.
