This is happening a lot lately.  I'm afraid to go to any off random site.  Even Farmvill bit me.  Good luck.

Im like your ole pa, cause I have no clue about these things either.  My bank is always asking me to do my banking on line, yea right? Heck you got to have money first.  LOL.   Noway will I ever do that and run the risks of viruses and hackers and God knows what out there.

comedy sites huh? So you're the one reading my blog about my love life!!  :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;

on a serious note: with the right sort of protective software such as anti-virus, anti-malware and say something that checks webpges etc even the click-click-click brigade shouldn't get into too much strife as, in theory, the softare should intercept most nasties, or at least throw up a warning.

I use free software like AVG and have not had a virus or nasty... well.... ever that I know of.
