    As you know, we love to help people but sometimes people come at you so aggressively that you can not waste your time trying to convince them otherwise so all you can do is laugh. This is one of those cases:

    Thanks Robert, please tell all of your friends!

    See this is a prime example of what happens when you use norton.

    :-D Nice, very nice.

    @MA... It takes all sorts man, if there were no irrational idiots then we wouldn't feel quite as awesome as we do :-D
    What amuses me is he's probably got 5000 friends on facebook that he doesn't know and has 25 "Free ScreenSaver" sites in his favourites :-D

    This is actualy, and I am serious here, a perfect example of why some people should not own PCs.

    Just so I'm clear...your computer can become infected with Google? Did I read that right?

    Oh yes, I've read about these people sending emails of complaint to google for constantly Hacking/violating their computer and changing the google logo. apparently this happens to these people nearly everyday! :-D

    Well, mine did! I got the Google search bar in the top right... I am infected. :-D

    People complaining of the 'Google Infection' from MG's downloads may cause giggling on a certain tech forum. :p

    I am going to stack firewood around my magic box, light it up, and dare any Google hax to get through my firewall. :cool

    Wow. Robert is a grade A spaz. I can relate though. I once worked on a friends computer after it crashed on her. She had a number of pretty serious mal-ware issues (she was not running any anti-virus), and it took me a while to get it squared away. I put anti-virus and other mal-ware fighters on it. She called me a few weeks later, saying I had infected her computer, because the anti-virus had stopped a net-nasty and informed her of it. Her reasoning? She had never seen such a message before I worked on it . . . so it was my fault :banghead

    Tell you what, Fred - should she ever call me again for her computer, I am going to suggest this is what she should do! ;)

    Give it 2 hours, the computer will never be infected again. Foolproof. :-D

    Sadly we all know these people, sometimes we are related to them. Took me 15 minutes to explain to my mother how to upload a picture to facebook then another 15 to explain how to "show it to people." :banghead :banghead Then later while out shopping with her she asked me a question and I googled it on my phone. Now she wants one of them "Androgynous" phones. I can hardly wait...

    Getting lay-people to search the Google commands is funny too, I've seen some freak out emails after telling someone to search "do a barrel roll" :-D

    Google Easter eggs are lame we need to get the internet community back on track and eggs do not boil or fry it....

    So, it never occurred to this genius that the thing he unzipped was infected and not the program? And who the hell gets viruses from google? Unless you're frequenting sites that have anything to do with the infamous bluewaffle, you have to be some kind of retard.

    Dear Mr. Primeisodophobia,
    Go ahead and tell all of your friends on all 200+ blogs in the "I have porn because I repulse real girls" community that you downloaded an upacking program and your file fudgepack.rar did, in fact, fudgepack you. It was the file, not the program, you idiot. But congratulations on your slippery grasp of software functionality AND communicative English.
    Sincerely,
    The entire rest of the internet.

    Wenchie, one day you really should break out of your shell and tell the word how you really feel. :-D

    I can't, people might grow to like me and that would be just awful cus I'd have to care what they thought of me. :p

    I've been offered several jobs in complaint department reply though...
     
  32. Wenchie

    But admit it.. how many of you googled Primeisodophobia and got a virus?

    Needless to say, I have not heard from this name calling guy since the last email. My ASSumption is he sent an email to his one friend with a wordpress blog who laughed at him for downloading something stupid and blaming us.

    Real shame, I was hoping for 200+ blog posts about how we suck.

    Maybe next time.

    Dont blame you Tim as that would have been great free advertising as the readers would have seen how wrong they where :)

    as for blog posts it kinda depends on how popular your blog is!?! some are very popular and some not so much, mine muddles through and gets ok hits per day but is not what you would call popular, has a fair number of followers, I must post something of interest or they want a laugh ;)

    I could write them.. i'd be lying but i could do it. And a hell of a lot more eloquently than that *** hat.

    As could I. It's not that hard to write a well-phrased rant against something you dislike.

    But I guess that's why it's idiot of the day. :-D

    How about a grateful one instead. I am grateful for finding this Web site and working with Chas and visiting this lounge to say hello. I am especially grateful for the honest integrity and vast knkowledge, and the fact that you help people like me for free! I knew there was something special here. So to all the Roberts of the world who would rather whine instead of persevere, well, you could try to work a little harder to make this forum work for you. I did, and I'm happy. For every Robert (quite a few of them), there are at least a hundred like me. Here's a :highfive and a salute!:major
