c-spam cannot afford



Threads like these remind me of the old adage "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure."

Now, I know most people don't intentionally get viruses or malware. I know that some of it is just a flat out pain to avoid, and some things aren't really all that preventable until patches are released.

But for the preventable stuff. How do we get the world to be smarter with technology? How do we get idiots to stop clicking on every single loving popup that comes on their screen?

I had to fix my step-dad's laptop a few days ago because he just clicks on things without thinking.

That's crazy to see a site hijacked like that.

I'm so glad I don't have to fix these things with any frequency anymore.
