Links are kind of like elevator buttons. You push them, and you don't
really have to worry about the mechanics of how they take you to your
desired destination, you just get transported there. Unfortunately,
someone hijacked my elevator this week. I'd type something into
google, get my list back of websites I might potentially want to
visit, but when I clicked on one I'd get taken to where the hacker
wanted me to go, which was usually some crummy looking search engine
page with lots of ads. Now this just wouldn't do. I felt about the
same way you'd feel knowing someone was tinkering with your car at
night. Of course I'm going to sit up all night in a tree with a
crossbow waiting for them.
But this man-made virus was slippery and had teeth. It disabled
windows defender, wouldn't let me search for or download anti-virus
programs, and threw up fake security warnings with "clean computer"
buttons that I dared not touch. I was finally able to download AVG, a
free anti-virus program that all the egg heads recommended, and I now
recommend it to you with my own oddly shaped head. Somewhere on my
computer I now have a vault where these trojan beasts are housed.
Sometimes I visit them and turn into the warden from Cool Hand Luke.
