Instead of sleeping peacefully last night, I was repairing the family computer (not my main machine). No, it wasn't broken, it was the victim of adware, spyware and some other malicious programs.
I wonder how much time each day the average computer user spends sifting through and deleting spam? How much time and money is spent on averting adware, spyware, tracking beacons, data miners, pop-ups, computer viruses and the constant bombardment of annoyances? I'm going to guess thousands, no millions, of hours of peoples lives are wasted every day dealing with these unwanted intrusions.
Fortunately I have figured out a simple solution to stop these criminals from wasting our time and resources. Line 'em all up against a wall and hand me an automatic weapon. End of problem. Enjoy the rest of your day.
