You are the thousandth visitor. Refresh. You are the thousandth visitor.

My dad clicked one once. Good thing he was on a Mac :3

Protip: If you're going to target use iPads as bait for a virus advertisement trap, make sure the virus is Mac compatible, since around half will be Mac owners, whereas the other half will be wannabes.

Either it's a scam... or I'm special ^o^

veggieman001 · 2012-10-08 23:33:10

those statistics are incorrect
more than half of those people will be non-mac users, and they won't be wannabes
someone can like some products and not others by a company and not be a wannabe

Guys, can we get this off the PC vs. Mac war?

jji7skyline · 2012-10-08 23:35:27

I'm special. Your argument is invalid :3

Also, I meant the people who click the ad, not the people who see it tongue

Instead of attacking the logic of fictional commercial personas . . .

There are much more effective ways to protect files on a PC than something like Time Machine.

Saving every single file is a pretty big waste of space to have. Every single one isn't hyper important! I've got a simple backup program that I can specify what sections/folders I want backed up.

Coupled with any sort of capable free anti-malware system, my computer's pretty darn safe.

My friend has gotten a few things like this.

1. A fake antivirus that claimed everything on his computer was highly infected and wouldn't let him open anything until he paid for it

2. Something that "deleted all his files until he paid for it (actually hid them)

3. The worst internet redirect/ everything else in 1 virus ever.

I fixed all but the 3rd one, hopefully I'll be abe to go to his house and fix it soon tongue .

It explains Time Machine quite well though tongue

veggieman001 · 2012-10-09 01:49:18

yeah it shows how dumb it is... silly waste of space
just don't get viruses and use save as wink

and i watched some of that person's other mac vs. pc videos, and they're hilariously accurate

jji7skyline · 2012-10-09 02:28:07

Yes, but not appropriate for all ages tongue

veggieman001 · 2012-10-09 02:29:38

Do you find the actual virus distributor in Skype itself?
My dad uses Skype sometimes, I'd like to warn him about it.
