I didn't think that I'd get one
out this week. I've been feeling a little like shit lately. Or feeling
like a little shit... either way is fairly accurate.
Saira's Ebay and YahooMail accounts
got hacked this week. This is the second time it has happened to her
Ebay account. My first opinion is that this is the result of letting
other people use your account. However, my suspicions were cast aside
when I got home and ran a spyware detector on her system. It found a
whopping 557 instances of spyware. 557! It surprised her too, since
apparently she has been running PC-cillin. Apparently PC-cillin doesn't
actually DETECT viruses and adware. It just... runs scans. Scans for
what?
...No, I'm asking you. 'Cause it
sure as hell isn't scanning for the things that it was DESIGNED to scan
for. I thought that maybe it just wasn't updated and running old definitions.
What a dumbass I am. It was updated, it just DOESN"T WORK.
Now I gotta go out and grab a copy
of Norton Systemworks for Saira. I also have to try and convince her
to start running Windows XP Home and quit running Windows 2000, an operating
system that hasn't been supported since this nation was at peace with
the world.
Oh, and as soon as the wounds heal,
I'll get out a strip that will tell all you good boys and girls about
the wedding I bailed from.
