A few weeks ago I downloaded the program GIMP, which is
supposed to be a free version of PHOTOSHOP.
As I was downloading it the system asked me was OK to let
things be downloaded into my computer. I
thought I was OKing GIMP stuff, so clicked my permission. It opened up a wide corridor or passageway of
cheap ads.
After that, each time
I went on line cheap ads or SPAM took over my screen. Sometimes I could X them out and sometimes
when I Xed them out it would also cancel
out the on-line program I requested. It
was very counter-productive.
I wonder how much the
people of the ads paid to get their advertisements unsolicited invading
computers. I cannot imagine anybody
actually being inspired to do any kind of business with these ads.
Yesterday, my son Adam and his girlfriend Savvy were over
for Easter Dinner. I put Adam to
work, earning his meal, so to
speak, to correct the SPAM invasion
problem. Adam is an electronic
expert. He quickly solved my problems. I really appreciated what he did to save my
butt again.
Now, I wonder how long it will be until I get myself into
another electronic mess?
