Ad Behavior

I believe I've posted on this in the past, but I don't care- I hate pop-ups.

Over the past few weeks, my computer has been losing a death struggle with companies pretending to give away free iPods and Viagra prescriptions. The second I connected to the Internet, roughly thirty Windows would bombard the screen, overburdening the modem and making anything I wanted to do next to impossible. Although it's not really an excuse, this is partly the reason why I haven't been blogging lately- going online was an exercise in frustration and futility, which is precisely what blogging is supposed to help relieve.

Last night I headed to the local Wal-Mart and purchased Norton's Internet Security 2005. It took a while to load and update it, but now that I have, the computer is working perfectly. It located about 19 viruses and sent them to virus hell, which I imagine is kinda like the lay-a-way line at Kmart.

It only cost around $55, and now I have, for all intents and purposes, a brand new computer. I strongly recommend it.
