What I want to know is, if I have McAfee installed, how come all these other spyware programs keep interupting my system to tell me about all these other viruses, moles, worms and creepsters invading my PC???

Cats have over one hundred vocal sounds, while dogs only have about ten.

Some of those are just pop-ups on certain web sites to try to get you to buy their product. I get those showing sometimes on my Mac and it is always a Windows screen that pops up. Dead giveaway.

What's really disturbing to me about that fact is, isn't just so damn sad that we have idiots in this world who would take the time and effort to do something so vile to people and their property worldwide that they'll never know. THAT takes a special type of creep, don't you think?

Hang them all and get it over with. No more hand slaps. Nothing like a good example to set things straight.
