phscarface · #44I particulary don't click in those ads, most are viruses, if they aren't, well I dunno and don't want to.
I prefeer to have my machine intact, preventing to format it, I'm not a formating whore, have to format all thetime reflects on the PC's administrator's common sense, I have some clients that have some issues and need to format in short time. Why?
Cause they didn't listened me to not do this and that, so as they ignored, they get viruses of all kind.
Bad for they good for me that earn some money, but still so, people gotta take more care of their PC, it's not just assembly, install the OS and upgrades, get a antivirus and a anty spyware, go cliking in ads, downloading stuff like hell.
The antivirus and antspyware don't work alone, gotta have the most important thing:
The Administrator's brain/common sense.
The begining of this year I formated to change from XP to Seven, now this Week I will do it again, but I'll do it cause I gonna change hardware, as the motherboard, processor and ram memory, I've never formated my PC cuz viruses.
And you thatonemexicanguy, seems to take things on the heart, why make enemies in the net?
Cuz someone post some facts, which I'm to, cuz as said, not everyone has the luxury of having more than one PC and the time to test programs in the "guinea pig", neither time if in any case you mind on using virtual PC, you call Hypr an paranoic about being afraid of ads? I call him smart and that have common sense.
I agree with some of the things your saying, such as the people not taking proper care of their computer.
For example: I had fixed my friends pc and installed an antivirus, the whole point of it is to protect it.
Well the next day I catch him going into a (random) porn site, well what do you know, he sees the antivirus mall-ware, noticed but chooses to proceed. I do not do it for free either . I said, "what the hell I just fixed it and your messing with it".
There is a limit to the safety features, and choices you should make, and that's where the problem is.
Make the best choices concerning your mental ability or affordability.

I would have to go check, what started this rivalry between me and Hypr. (don't remember at the time though)
The only PC I format constantly (maybe once a every 2 weeks) is "the guinea pig" for obvious reasons.
With the other two I watch myself online (or put up a pop-up blocker when needed [torrent sites])
Bowman 2 is a well known pop-up flash game which I get sometimes, so I know that is safe.
(Doubt the anyone is trying to steal my data, luring me with Bowman 2, and if they are than what the hey, new profile) :P
Yes, the main problem is
time (which can be solved) and
luxury (which can also be solved, of having the proper equipment)
They are here on the net, why not ask around for help on installing a new system. (It is free)
"Hey, I don't think I'm that bad of a guy, Hypr wants to call it a truce, im up for that."
But as stated before he is rarely wrong, which makes it impossible to reason/compromise with him)
see my dilemma Chris Redfield?
He seems to be, too overly-safe, when he knows how to install a new system or antivirus or pop-up blocker as stated, that is my response about Hypr.
Hypr · #43Putting words into my mouth, thatonemexicanguy? That's not what I said at all. Why don't you spend your extra time that you have on your hands to improve your reading comprehension skills?
This is coming from a moron who plays with internet ads, thus flirts with the possibilities of being infected with trojans and spyware...
The average tech guy is also useless. In fact, most of the computer tech guys are useless. They only make money off of people who are totally inept with computers.
They rather hire cause thats they're only choice, create a blog about computer safety thats my point, rather than bash on everybody who likes
some ads.
(they're level of understanding about cpu's is minimal), when the cpu messes up.
I do not flirt with the ads or viruses, look at the above message to CR.
