1. She wouldn't approve of Firefox. No, she wouldn't.

Ayn Rand would use Internet Explorer, exclusively.

3. I picked up a virus on Google Images -- if you get a weird pop-up

screen with flashing red warnings about YOUR COMPUTER IS AT RISK, don't click on anything -- just hit Alt and F4 to close it out and then do your virus scan.

This fake "warning" screen won't close when you try to close it, and keeps asking you to click on "scan now" or something. It's a nasty piece of work.

Like a typical RepubliBagger, she went All Hypocrite as she approached THE END OF THE ROAD -- and begged for Big Government to bail out her ailing butt.

RepubliBaggers. Sheesh. Pretty damn pathetic when all is said and done. Now they want to hold her up as some kinda heroine, the same way they hold up as so-called 'military heroes' AWOL Frat Boys and War Profiteers with Five (5) freaking military deferments.

Gack.

9. Looks like you have been compromised

That screen does not look legit. Most of those phone numbers are 3rd world countries. If you were aborad, '00' would get you an international line.
