My room mates notebooks anti-virus program won't allow access to DU
   
Yesterday, I tried to get on the DU on my room mates notebook. It's a rather small machine, something called 'Eee' and she received it as a gift from her sister to keep in touch. She has got it hooked up with a wi-fi connection, and frankly, it is so fast that I even thought of buying one as a backup for quick internet. That is, until I tried to navigate over to the DU and was greeted with the message that "Trend Micro Security considers this site to be dangerous" and said that it was a "fraud and a scam". This is the virus protection that comes with this notebook, from the manufacture. My room mate says that she is "very concerned that her notebook seems to have a political agenda". Needless to say that I will not be buying this device.

lets see :

Odds that a room full of liberals has at least one person harboring a virus ~100%
Odds that any website soliciting donations to win an iPad2 is a scam ~75%
Odds that a message board full of liberals has at least one conversation actively endorsing fraud ~%100%


Viruschecker seems to be working just fine.

Why was the DUmmie using their computer anyway?  The friend probably got tired of clearing out viruses and malware the DUmmies gets on their laptop and set the antivirus to block the one site the DUmmie couldn't live without.  That is the one site other than pron sites.

2. I'll let her know about those.
   
She's not exactly computer literate, and sometimes, I'm not even sure about computer things. I mostly rely on the nice young man at Staples to help me out. Besides, it's her notebook. What concerns me is that this program is from the manufacture, put into a device that is only $250.00 in price and will be the only device that a lot of people can afford.

Why not add a slam to the evil capitalists to the tale. Always a secondary agenda with DUmmies.

Now Karin and BSS, to be completely fair here, he did not actually equate the DUmmorrhoids to retarded gibbons, he placed them below retarded gibbons, but didn't really say just how far below.  Let's give him the benefit of the doubt, and take that as meaning a very great distance indeed.
