PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

I've been compromised by an Australian. Sounds kind of sexy, doesn't it? Well, it's NOT!

I spent two and a half hours this morning removing a virus from my computer. I could feel my blood pressure pushing through the roof. But I have to say, that Jeff was so helpful at mediacom this morning. And patient. Given the fact that I had responded to a spam e-mail that caused the whole thing. So here's my warning. I've taken all the things I did wrong and put them in the form of Redneck Tips. READ CAREFULLY.

Redneck Tips for Not Wasting a Whole Morning Taking a Virus off Your Computer
1. Don't let your virus protection plan run out (duh)
2. Don't use just any virus protection plan--make sure the one you have works
3. Don't respond to an e-mail that claims to be from mediacom or whomever your provider may be even if it has the official symbol, etc.
4. Change your passwords on a regular basis
5. If you try to e-mail something, and it says you've maxed out the number of e-mails you can send in a day, you're in big trouble. That means someone has hijacked your address and sent out MILLIONS of spam e-mails. Nice, huh?

Since I've spent half the morning doing THAT, I'm behind on everything else! So I'll catch you later. Have a GREAT day and use protection when you engage in computer intercourse.
