| That's getting to be the norm, the ad say it'll fix you computer and whatnot, just download the free diagnostic; you run the diagnostic and it reports that you hard drive has been invaded by headhunters and has a hemorrhagic fever virus, and if you don't act THIS INSTANT, it may pull a Derrenger and take a shot at you...So you click on the fix me now button, and up pops the news that they will gladly do this as soon as you send 'em $20 bucks, and for only a bit more you can subscribe to their service and get reamed at regular intervals. FWIW, searching for any driver in Google, for instance, will get you a taste of the same scam. If you just want to be a user, get a Mac. The problem with the PC/Windows platform is that it is an infamous mass of festering vulnerabilities, and any kid who can figure out assembly language code can write malware for the platform. With a Mac, the coding is a bit obtuse, anybody who can figure out how to write a bug for a Mac can get a high-paying job as a software engineer, doesn't have so much time on their hands, which is why Mac bugs/viruses are rare.. bk (Some old Mac guy..) --- On Thu, 4/21/11, Nate <vwnate1@yahoo.com> wrote:
