windows-privacy-protection SCAM

This is no joke!!! The little fuckers at windows-privacy-protection.com are sending out a vicious little malware disguised as a spyware pop detector that looks like a microsoft windows product.

"Click here to update Windows Security". Yeah right. I fell for it.

It hijacks your browser. Kills your task manager and reroutes it to a site that offers to sell you software that....you guessed it. Removes malware and spyware.

The good news is you can still use your computer and have access to the internet. The really bad news is that NOBODY at this time has a way of removing this piece of shit. Restoring your computer doesn't do jack shit.

At this time, the best we can do is warn everyone you know. Knock off the cutesy emails and pass this warning on to everyone you know.

This is serious.

This is true.

This is no joke.

Do Follow Blogs

Stumbling Around StumbleUpon

It's nice to to read a good website over morning coffee. This happened today when fellow stumbler DeMerchant sent me his site. Awash in a sea of the meaningless emo flotsum of MySpace and YouTube, StumbleUpon is an island of quality. Sometimes. As it has gained in popularity, Stumbleupon has had its share of flotsam. Demerchant heads the nail on the head in his self-proclaimed rant and is trying to separate the chaff from the wheat. His point is, "Are you a good Stumbleupon friend?" Do you really share common interests? Do you take the second and give a "Thumbs Up" to pages your friends share with you? Do you exchange ideas by leaving reviews? Or are you just mindless surfing and couldn't care less one way or another.

If you have taken the time to read this post to this point, you're a good candidate to take the time to review it on Stumbleupon. Or at least give it a thumbs up. You'll find the icon conveniently placed at the end of this post. A feat that took me a whole morning to figure out how to program (Thank you).


Along with stumbleupon, I've got a couple of other blogs and pages out there on the web. As a publisher, I'm always looking for the "Hat Trick". That is to say, a thumbs up, a stumble review and a comment on the blog. As a stumbler I do not lose sight that Stumbleupon is a Social Website. Kind of a MySpace for thinking people, dare I say adults. I have had better conversations sending pages back and forth here than anywhere else. Well except for my forum. So get with it people. A thumbs up is nice but I really want to know what you are thinking.

Stumblers

If you don't know this, I participate in Stumbleupon.com.

Each stumbler has a blog and these include a avatar and a statement of introduction. For example, this is my avartar.
My intro line is:

"It's better to Loved and Lost than have to with live a Psycho Bitch."

As I've stumbled I've come across other unique, imaginative and well, honest people.

Straightforward and honest, thanks Becky.

Nice homage to 2001, Alan. Love your avatar too.



Weeding out the shit sites, one stumble at a time.- realitybites
This chick rocks! Well worth the time to read.

I'm bored.-abbyBC13
Well, that's to the point.

Many people post their own picture.
Few do it with style. This is pretty good.

I should really spend less time web-surfing, but my cats won't let me up.

Oatmeal is my favourite sport. Im a metaphor for the internal combustion engine. I once raced a squirrel to the top of a maple tree and won. I square dance on round tables. I have crossed the state of Wyoming on a pogo stick. Speedvision has already purchased the rights to televise my funeral procession. I can breathe underwater. I trained an orphaned bear cub to fetch my newspaper every morning. I have brushed elbows with world leaders and brushed lint off my knickers. I was raised by a pack of wild platypuses. I won the Iditarod sled race with my team of specially-bred boars. I won the lottery and was struck by lightning on the same day. I cheer for pigeons. I have influenced the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and Salt-N-Pepa. I enjoy pole-vaulting in the park. Men are puzzled by my charm. My collection of designer egg-slicers has international appeal. By sledding down the North Face of Mt. Everest I set the world land-speed record.

John Edwards Flames Out on YouTube

This is an interview that John Edwards did for YouTube. He has a nice go of it until the "Shotgun Round". It comes near the end of the interview. Pay close attention to his answers....





This is how the "Shotgun Round" went:
To each issue he was to answer if he thought it was a Right or a Privilege.

A College Education: Right.
Health Care: Right.
A Livable Wage: Right.
Owning a handgun: Privilege.
American Citizenship for someone not born here,
but has worked here for one year: Privilege.
Access to the Internet: Right.


How did he do?

1. Nowhere in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights are citizens granted the Right to a college education. It has always been a privilege. Although in a Communist State, everyone has a Right to an education.

2. Once again, the Constitution and Bill of Rights do not mention health care. Universal health care is a Right in a Communist or Socialist State.

3. Strike Three. Sorry John, the Bill of Rights does not guarantee a livable wage. However, Communism provides work for everyone. You just might not like the job assigned to you in a "Worker's Paradise".

4. The Second Amendment to the Constitution states:
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Sorry John, owning a handgun is a Right. It's that pesky "shall not be infringed" clause. Everyone overlooks that point. In that nothing and they meant nothing can be done by the government to restrict the ownership of firearms. In that an armed citizenship cannot be subdued by the Government by force of arms. You know, like in Nazi Germany or Communist Russia. If (big if) John Edwards is elected President we all will know he's lying when he swears to defend the Constitution for all enemies, foreign and domestic.

5. He says he thinks that people not born in this country should earn their citizenship. Thinks? Come on John, think hard. ..... Ooops, time's up. It is a Right of everyone born in America to be granted the Right of Citizenship and be protected by the Bill of Rights. If you immigrate to this country you must renounce your former citizenship and EARN the PRIVILEGE to become an American citizen by adopting our laws, our customs, our language (while it's still English) and swear allegiance to this country. My Mom had to, so everyone else has to.

6. Access to the Internet? Who is smoking what? That one is so stupid, I'm at a loss of words. Sure I'm enjoying access to the Internet right now and so are you for that matter. But a Right? If he thinks that access to the Internet should be a Right then so should driving a car. No licenses, no age limits, no tests. Here's the keys, have at it. Maybe he's hinting that access to the pornography available on the Internet is a Right.

Maybe he just doesn't know the difference between a Right and a Privilege? That's reassuring as we elect him to protect our Rights under the Constitution. John Edwards destroyed his chance to become our President in a mere 34 seconds. Unless of course the electorate doesn't know the difference either.
