should i worry?

Post by Chris_film »

i was looking on the web for some stuff tonight and then i clicked on this link and all these porno sites started coming up! my computer was practically frozen for 5 minutes while 20 or so porn sites popped up. THEN, this other window came up saying "warning! investigation!" it said that there was enough evidence on my computer for an investigation and it had my IP address and my computer stats on the page! should i be worried about this?? :(

sounds like you have a virus or adware, or maybe both. Run ad aware and an antivirus software and see what comes up. And a window popping up displaying your system stats is nothing to be alarmed about, it can easily be done through scripts/adware

That "Warning, Investigation" thing was just antother stupid pop-up, designed to trick the type of people who respond to the "You've won a prize!" pop-ups. Remember Truggy's signature from a while back? How it showed your ISP and adresss and all that? It is basically the same thing.

Only if you are Mormon, and that applies anywhere.

No, any Christian religion really, it just depends on how committed you are to your religion whether you follow it or not (ask any priest/minister of any christian religion, and they'll tell you the same)

So any way you look at it, 99% of the world is going to hell :P

True, but Mormons are really strict about it, they kick people out of the faith for breaking the rules.

Don't get to hung up on it. My father is a vicar (CofE) and he was never concerned about anything we did. He even positively encoraged some things, drinking drugs etc

on the man show they went to a bunch of different preists and such and asked them a bunch about what the rules were and stuff and there was one religion that encouraged sex before marriage or anything. but that wasnt a christian relgion, oh well.
