Rain and Spyware. Too Much Lately

Went to bed talking about rain. Took that medication to help change the sleep cycle and of course overslept. But shucks, I feel more human. What woke me this morning was the sound of a lawn mower. At first it seemed like a dream because I do remember hearing rain on the window pane last night, but checked the time. Woke up 1.5 hours later than usual. Then it occurred to me that lawn mower was still running somewhere. So outside I go to check the sponge, uh, ground. It is still wayyyy to wet to mow. I still hear that lawn mower. Wish my fat butt could get industrious as that neighbor! I have to mow at least one more time this year.

As you can tell there is not a lot of news in the techno world. There is still a major rash of spyware, malware, garbageware, adware, dungware, or what ever you call it making rounds again. If we all go to hardware firewalls and watch our browsing it would put them out of business. Computer users are to blame as well as the creeps that create and publish or use this junk.

Stay off gambling sites, free ads, porn and NEVER click on a popup ad. Just close it in the taskbar at the bottom and immediately tell your browser to never let it pop up again. If you go to a site that has advertising popups then complain to the site owners and refuse to go back unless they change. Then run a scan with your protection software on your computer. After running my normal scans yesterday I found 4 potential threats. They were immediately removed and I will not return to ABC-TV's site since they originated there. No fear though, you can watch ABC shows through Hulu.
