I am NOT clicking on that link, lol.

Seriously, I have been sitting here nice as can be at this computer and accidentally clicked on something or not, and had tons of porn ads pop up. It hasn’t happened in a while.

About 5 or 6 months ago, my computer got some kind of virus. My husband insisted it was because I went to weird sites or clicked on something. And I hadn’t. He was finally able to fix it :)

A couple of years ago I was looking for a software patch file for an old game that was not supported any more.

I found a supposedly reputable site that maintained old patch files and such and when I clicked the link to my patch I got hijacked big time! It took me over seven hours of virus and registry sweeping to kill all the bad things that happened.

Innocent looking game sites are often prone to spreading viruses.
