I thought I knew all the tricks until I got a computer! I thought I could spot a scam a mile away, until I got a computer.
Since I got my computer, however, I have repeatedly been the victim of all kinds of viruses, sypware, trojans and liars. Basically, I now see that I cannot trust anybody on the internet! The best way for me to protect myself is to do business only with people I know, and remain anonymous to everyone else. Anonymous means that I can talk to just about anybody--but I don't give my name, address, credit card or bank account number to anybody. I can't do anything that allows anybody on my computer unless I know them well enough to trust them. I should not have anything to do with anybody who offers anything free, wants me to "register," or wants me to download anything. Don't have anything to do with Taliban, pornographers, salesmen, etc. That makes having a computer a very limited experience. That's not the way I thought this experience was going to be when I bought my computer. I'm shocked to hear of some of the scams people fall for on the internet, telephone, and even in person. We live in a dangerous jungle. Everybody out there is a predator. That's the defense mechanism I have now adopted to protect myself from computer viruses. . . . Am I right?
