Have any of you out there gotten to the point you would like to call your computer names and throw it out the window because even though the internet is a wonderful place. You end up running into so many issues in finding things and then when you do find it, there are a million popups or it is not what you are seeking?

There will always be problems as long as there are people who are willing to make our online stay a nightmare. There are some who create strings of codes that do our computer harm, there are adwares, malwares and spywares all around but I try to keep positive and I am lucky enough not to encounter these problems so I got no pop-ups and stuff.

That is good to know. Mine is more I am leaning how to do things on the computer. I am computer impaired and the computer usually wins. I do have the block ups and everything like that. My computer has to be protected for what I do. Take care and have fun, thanks for the response. Aingealicia

My biggest problem is our Uncle does not like the sites that I go to. I like certain sites in the Mideast. I spend a lot of time at Israeli sites. It is perfectly OK to go to "American" Israeli sites but not the "real" Israeli sites. I have finally figured out how to protect my computer from totally crashing when Uncle's little devices detect a computers presence in the "wong" place and sends it crashing off the web. It is perfectly OK to go to any Arab site or Al Qaeda sites but not certain Israeli country sites. Funny, which country do we have treaties with? You get upset at popups? You ain't seen nothin!! Two computers ago I had my harddrive totally fried. It actually smoked from a device sent to it! Popups are cute next to that. It's a good thing I can rebuild a computer now myself. I am usually down no more than a day. Sometimes the downtime is nice and quiet. Shalom~Adomiah

Yes I completely understand, with the nature of my work I am always at risk. See the government loves me because I speak the truth and that is not allowed. I have sites in russia, Isreal, only to name a few. I always find my computer never works quite right after. So mine is not the pop ups but the hey there how you doing? If you understand what I mean. Headed to a protest Thursday will have a write up by next week for you to see with the photos. I am excited, going to announce it for MyLotters.. Blessed Be my friend, Aingealicia

I sometimes call my computer "Brenda" because it starts acting like a girlfriend I once had. It gets all logical and won't do what I want it to do, then freezes up and won't respond to anything I say or do. LOL
