Last night I spent the better part of two hours trying to resuscitate my computer.
Why?
Because I clicked on a link that seemed totes legit.
Usually I'm really good at this. |
And this too. |
Except that this time, I was.
I don't know, Jackie Chan meme. If I knew, I would have avoided being stupid. Really. |
And I fell for it, because vodka and pretty much straight-up self-loathing.
Author's note: This is where I stopped writing the post, because I guess vodka + self-loathing = sleepy-bye time. But I did disarm the nastyware I downloaded, so I feel pretty great about that. Maybe I should get a job as a drunk IT specialist.
Totally a thing. For professionals only, please. |
Will this post then go viral?
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there. :P
DeleteI've been duped by that one before. And, I supposedly, know better. I despise the people that come up with these things.
ReplyDeleteI used to think the people who wrote malware were evil geniuses. Then an IT person told me no, they're just assholes who know enough to pull code from other programs and string it together. In other words they know just enough to be dangerous. Sort of like me, except I know my limits when it comes to computers. If I were that tech-savvy I'd put my energy into putting iOS 5 back on my iPhone.
