A regular browser whore eh pulse?

Haven't found a good enough reason yet to switch off Opera myself. I fire up FF occasionally just to see if there's any new tricks that excite me and .... when my daughter's on my home machine I make her use FF so she can't jack with my Opera settings.

She's quite talented at lockin up a browser, gets it from the ol man I guess, but I don't really care so long as she ain't crashin my browser with her facebook/myspace and other traipsins around the ol www.

Last week she locked it up really well. She was on some site and got one of those nifty pop ups tellin her she had a virus, needed to use "their" scanner and then showed all kinda bogus infections, which scared her pretty good thinkin she had gotten a virus on my machine. Then of course another pop up offered her a nice AV to take care of it, so she decided she's better clean up Daddys machine and this of course locked her up quick.

Had to give her a refresher course in virii vs. Ubuntu and that she should NEVER click on that stupid "scan my system, please" BS since Ubuntu would NEVER need it and that she was NEVER to install ANYTHING on my machine without my permission 1st, NO EXCEPTIONS!

I built her an Ubuntu machine but haddn gotten a wireless card for it yet. I told her when she is on her own machine she can do all the stupid shit she wants to .... AND that she can also learn how to fix it, which will teach her bettern anything I can think of in what NOT to do cool smiley
