    I do not mind helping people, I love it. But, I just expect people to read a tiny bit. They dont. Then you give them directions. They skip most of it. And occasionally you get the jackass who can barely read or write, is unsure if the power button on the tower means thats how to get the computer monitor on , but can still call names and point fingers over a problem on his computer. Please enjoy my latest "Report A Bad Link" email, but first, I will answer all your questions that result from this email ;) Tried to hide the swearing, if something is too loud for you, let me know. Just use the Bad Link form ;)

    Yes, he could not find our emails so he used the bad link form.

    Yes, he can not spell.

    Yes, Spyware Blaster and updates are free:
    http://majorgeeks.com/download2859.html

    Yes, he thinks were the author of spywareblaster and want to charge him twice... for a free program.

    Yes, he did not use a real email because he did not want to hear back that he was a moron, he wants to go to bed feeling smarter. Good luck.

    Yes, I have his ip address :)

    Yes, it is going to abuse@ his ip address as a complaint.

    Yes, I feel my IQ has gone up a few points today.

    Idiots have no boundaries.

    You would think that after so many stupid idiotic acts
    mother nature would take care of the problem

    but noooooo.
    we make laws to protect them therefore the gene pool is deteriorating

    I wonder who the hell he paid for the program the first time

    I wish you come back and read this thread

    Yes, sorry to hear about this kind of thing, MA.

    You certainly don't deserve it.

    <wonder if someone could write code to detect this kind of thing, and then reroute it to a more "suitable" destination.... like a fellow lobotomy candidate?>

Does not give his email so I can tell him that his Compaq he bought at CompUSA 6 years anti-virus expired 5 years ago and his definitions are now slightly out of date making for a false positive. I reply to these regulalry to explain how definitions and false positves work, but thats ok, hes so smart, he did not give his email out. He so secure!

    We need a new t-shirt that says Thank God for MajorGeeks. Of course, then people would be offended and we would have to make a Thank Allah for MajorGeeks and whatever other Gods people pray to, not to sell them, but to appease another dolt ;)

    I bet the CWShredder guy was pissed. People were getting redirected to him and emailing him flaming him for hijacking their browser ;) He finally had to put a front page post up saying he did not hijack them. I feel sorry for him. Heres his screenshot.

    in defence of idiots.. you now need software to explain the software that protects you against the software that downloads with the software that you actually wanted.

    i can understand the frustration of not understanding.

    still no need to be (blank) (blank) insulting tho.

    aloha everyone

    MA,
    To relieve a little of your frustration and to increase your feel-good factor , a quick tale!
    Today, deep in the badlands of Scotland, I was trying to sell some excess computer gear at a car boot sale, (you probably think of it as a garage sale).
    A young bloke was buying some cds, and as we were talking , he happened to mention he repaired computers for a living. I asked him if he had seen the latest letter from Lavasoft, and he said that he had got it from Majorgeeks. He is not a member , but says that MG has been a source of knowledge for him for a long time now, and I quote :- " I could not get along without some of the downloads and advice taken from that site!"
    So the next time you get a letter from a moron , remember they are outnumbered by people who appreciate the good work you do!

    Well, thanks Harry! Yeah, I know they are out there, I just dont like the leave a comment and run away mentality, you know?

    Car boot sale? Yes, I think we call them garage sales.... So, you call your garages boots then? Interesting the differerence an ocean makes, I am always fascinated by these simple things :)

    Amen Harry! :)


    BTW, if I'm not mistaken a 'boot' over there is the same as a 'trunk' over here. And the only folks over here who sell stuff out of their trunks are shady characters up to no good. :p

    So I guess your secret's out now mate! :D

    Parking Brake = Hand Brake,
    Tire = Tyre,

    But at least we agree about the steering wheel!

    Everyone's talking about how this flamer is a moron.
    He has a worse character flaw. Cowardice. MA touched on this in his comments in post 28 of this thread. Flame-boy would certainly NEVER say such things to Tim's face. Hell, Tim's avatar pic scares the bejesus outa ME, and I'm a big ole' dumb construction worker.

    smokinbls the title thing is overrated

    it is just to bad that some of us (me included) are NOT computer literate. I do try to read up on all posts and faqs b-4 i ask a question. i also understand that all replies given are much appreciated (at least in my case ) I myself am trying to learn computers, but when something is advertised as FREE and someone does not "get it" well that is just someone being dumb.That person needs to read b-4 barking at a kind informant.
    in any case i sometime or another will ask a stupid question and will be laughed at, but a dumb question is better that not asking.
    anyways THANK YOU for all the time and your knowledge you all give us newbies.

    Yeah, but Brian,
    That's altogether different, too, you know?
    Gosh!
    Here MA (and others?) are getting FLAMED HARD, and for no good reason.

    Questions are all good.
    Haha.... I've been around here long enough to know that some of these guys answer these questions just for the fun of it, like a game. Its so easy for them.

    And, everyone is SO helpful, you know? We both know.

    But, here these guys make these wide general indictments, just hateful.
    They're idiots. They're lacking some kind of social skills or something. I'm just glad that the mods run interference so that this kind of stuff doesn't stick to the boards.

    Can you imagine???????

    YOU get it! Theres no need to read the 1,265 page XP book I am reading now to understand XP. Just search, spend a few minutes reading, if you can fix it great, if not, THEN ask. I have nothing else to say to you except I am thinking theres a lot of people out there like you who did get help and did not need to register or ask us. Thanks :)

    Hey, that's my friends your talking about. I got a $900.00 t.v. for only $200.

    MA, I am hoping that some of those people are not people I have referred. For some reason some of this sounds so familiar. I couldn't help them so I sent them here.

    Well, 2 this month and 1 from two months ago. There is another lady, that I was thinking of sending but I didn't bother. She would drive everyone crazy. She is the type that would prefer someone just go to her house and fix it for her.

    I'm not sure how to take that... :confused:

    She's one of the stupidest women I know...I was, in fact, fascinated to learn she even owns a computer. I sent her to the repair shop in town I use...I figure they make $65.00 per hour, they can listen to her. :D
     
  43. WobblesRArt

    WobblesRArt MajorGeek

    I was wrong then,..........I know somebody that has two or three computers in her house, others use them, but she won't even lift a finger to help herself...........she think's she can just call me at any time of the day or night. She's called a 3:00am, because she was up, and thought that I would be up as well...............wobbles

    I was discussing our network here at work with our resident computer guru and voiced my concern regarding Internet Explorer. He became quite animated and stated that IE is the finest browser in existence and that programs like FireFox et al are only trying to scare people into using their product. His opinion on virii, BHO's and malware? "Our Norton Corporate takes care of it all, don't worry about it". I keep a copy of CrapCleaner and SpyBot S/D on CD here in the office and take a lot of stuff out all of the time. This guy gets paid big bucks and is this anal...this is why I get frustrated also.
     
  48. Shiver Me Timbers

    Shiver Me Timbers MajorGeek

    Let it crash. I would. Well, unless your doing something your not to be doing on the computer...(certain sites that my contain spyware and viruses). When it crashes, tell him to call someone to fix it. Term: NOT MY JOB!
     
  49. Robster12

    Robster12 The Horse Whisperer


    Totally. No matter how much I ever get to know about computers, this is the attitude that I will ALWAYS take!

    I will never "help out" IT people where I work, ever. It is only inviting trouble.
    Because, then you become the scapegoat if anything ever goes wrong....

    Its because Boccemon (or Robster , or SMT, or whoever) was messing with the computers....

    Yeah, when it comes to their computers, I know NOTHING.
     
  50. Kodo

    If he can't adapt.. it's over. Get a new IT guy.
    Unfortunately I can't use FF here for my users because the county sites are IE specific.. not to mention that it's not on their list of supported software. I have to go through this whole proposal in order to get some things changed. It's truly rediculous. In any case, I would dread having to teach our users how to use something as simple as FF because it's so simple that it's too complex for them to comprehend.

    I liked IE too. It worked fine for me and with MyIE2, I had most of the novelties of the other browsers. I was hard pressed to find a browser that could take its' place. After the last security hole, it was a no brainer. I had to find something. Things can only go so far... But I say this now. The pendulum swings. People (maldev's) don't care about #2..it's #1 that they don't like. Once secondary software starts becoming popular, you will notice an increase in security watches for it. It's the nature of the beast.
