Under attack.

by dorne Whale Nov 30, 2014Nov 30, 2014

There’s a storm brewing and it’s not outside. It’s called Dorne.
My laptop 💻 appears to be under attack. My antivirus is earning its keep.
Things keep popping up on my screen …Tesco asking if I want a £10 voucher. No I b…dy well don’t.
And more worryingly…on the WordPress page as well.
So I’m scanning and cleaning, dissing my frags, fragmenting my dises and just asking my antivirus to get rid of the suspect whatever.
There’ll be pretty graphs and wavy lines dancing about my screen anytime soon.
Do I know what I’m doing? Not a hope in hell!
But it’s all part of the learning process.
I would so love to meet the scumbags and losers whose activities require us to protect our machines from their sick and sad ideas of creativity. They must be so proud of themselves!
So, this is it for tonight.
I’m off to throw another wobbly, turn the air an even darker shade of blue and drink the biggest glass of wine 🍷.
Thanks for dropping by and have a great evening.
If you hear a scream it’ll be me. LOL!
Until the next demented time.

Well hello there and thank you for dropping by here. I'm a middle-aged Yorkshire lass, who sometimes screws my writing head on and produces articles. Amongst other publications, I have been published in Dog's Monthly and The Guardian. I mostly write about animals ( I've been rescued by two adopted greyhounds), but, I am happy to write about any topic really. I have fibromyalgia and hypothyroidism, and my hubby has Parkinson's disease, so life is a challenge at times. On this blog I have a good old moan, try to offer advice and have a good laugh at myself. So, join me on my journey... as I visit the hospital - yet again and wear rather too much purple. Thanks for reading. Dorne x View all posts by dorne Whale

Try Linux. No need for any antivirus. 🙂

  Not heard of that. I will bear it in mind if the slimeballs try again.

    I have no doubt that they will!! But they just won’t let you know about it until it is too late. 😦

    You’re right of course. I’ve turned up the protection on my anti virus and figured out what caused it. But I will look at Linux.
    I don’t want a next time. LOL!

Hope you got it all sorted out now Dorne. That’s why I went to Apple in the end as the Anti Virus software is all built in. So far, so good, providing I remember to do the updates Apple send me. Fingers and everything else crossed here.

My daughter has a Mac and won’t have anything else because she says it’s virus free,
Yes, it’s sorted. I’m having a week of gadget and gismo gremlins. Now my camera is playing up. I wouldn’t have it any other way though, I love it when nothing comes together and everything breaks. OH JOY! LOL!
