Byte me

This puts me in mind of something that happened Sunday.

I stopped by Dad's to watch the Super Bowl and hang out. While this was going on, I took the opportunity to load and run ad-aware on his computer. Lo and behold, we discovered 498 items of spyware including really scary sounding things like "possible browser hijack attempt" and so forth. I tried to give him some tips on how to avoid this sort of thing but I kind of gave up when he said, "I open all of my mail because I'm never really sure if it isn't someone I know who needs to talk to me."
