Good Day! I hope you're enjoying a pleasant one.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY... I now live Upstate, NY, in a little town called Owego.
I'm here to learn more about Malware, Spyware, Virusware, SystemSecurityware, whateverware... so as to maintain my computers with optimum levels of security... and maybe even help out my friends and family members should the need arise.
I'm an ol' skool computer tech from back in the day... can you spell DOS 2.0? ...do you know what a Bernouli Box is? ...and who made it? I'm not even sure if Mr. Google knows that.
I was a big-shot tech in Winter Park, FL. many years ago... Orlando's Mayor, the Winter Park Police, Southland Corp (7-11), Channel 2, Rainbow Channel 65... everybody who was anybody was a customer of mine... I did a weekly "Technology" skit on Channel 2 with their Tech News reporter, who also was one of my customers... I did a talk Radio Show with WDBO AM Radio... I was a Super-Tech without a cape... I even nabbed a robber/jewelry thief once... our neighbor jewelry store was getting robbed, while I was outside my store, smoking a cigarette... I chased down the bandit, and even all the way through the plaza's Staples store, through their back door, and continued after him, until the police intercepted us... I was a big Hero on top of being BigShot Computer Tech... Ha! ...that was fun!
...but everybody was desperate to get their computers built, upgraded, custom setup, and/or repaired... this tiny little store that when I first started there, had only a little back room for a work shop... that, when last seen, took up more than half the total store square footage...
...like I said, the computer user community was a frantic riotous mob when it came to their computers... people would get angry if they weren't served first because, of course, their problems were certainly more important than anybody elses problems... first come, first serve, meant nothing to most of those people... the kindest, gentlest, senior citizens, would become mad dogs when it came to their inop computers... I was threatened, and even almost came to fists and fury... I remember yelling, at some old man, "...you want a piece of me! you want a piece of me! c'mon old man, outside!!! you and me! C'Mon!!!
Soon after, with nervous breakdown in effect, I left the Biz... that was Autumn of '98... and haven't looked back... for a couple of years after leaving it behind, I still had people hunting me down at home...
I have to go take some anti-anxiety meds now for flashing back on all that... really... my heart is racing from the adrenaline... Gawwwddd!!! ...whaddanightmare!
...speaking of NightMares... now about these MalWares... I guess, depending on your experiences and perceptions... maybe all computers in general can be considered "MalWare"... sorta like the as useful "TupperWare", but more frightening and stressful...
Here's my Advice and/or Tip-O-The-Day: computers are "stuff", and "stuff" really doesn't matter... so regardless of the Mal'est of Wares that may come your way... in whatever shape or form... remember that the Road to Peace of Mind, is paved with Acceptance... lined with Patience... and is best traveled, walking in the Way of Kindness...
