Social networking

probably watching porn when i was like 11 years old with out a anti virus

 

[ShadowSoldier]

A friend linked me to a site. clicked the link....What isaw there for less than 2 seconds was burned into my memory for months.... Ghad! I hated my friend.

OH, If there was any, I think i take the cake.

Do you really think it's smart to post the url of a site that links to a picture of three old men getting it on?


Did you think it was a better idea to quote it instead of hitting the report button?

I actually did it for shits and giggles. My original post was going to be like:

"how is that any different than me posting the url to [insert ridiculously fucked up animated gif site here] ?"

Eh.

Is there a way to see if someone commented on your stuff without clicking your name do you know? People reply to my comments on there, but I don't get an alert like the old site.

mmh .. when my pc got infected with a really tough computer virus while searching through some file sharing sites. it indicated somehow that my activities were recorded by a copyright agency, further that an investigation would be initiated and therefore my os got a shutdown. it was useless till i reinstalled it completely.
but the really bad thing about it was that in the first moment i really was kinda desperate, thinking i totally messed up. didn't make any experiences with such malware before and the argumentation seemed to be plausible. really bad experience.

Probably getting a virus that made my computer run slow as crap. I don't even know how it got there....

This actually happened to me 2 days ago. Some guy made a video on youtube and was reviewing the Verizon iPhone, he said he got it for free from some website. I went on that website and I inputted my address, phone number, and email. Then after that there were some surveys I had to do, so I was like screw this and I pressed X. Now I keep getting random emails and text messages to my phone all the time. The worst thing is that I don't even have a txt messaging plan so when I receive a message I have to pay every time.

Looking for a keygen on random sites for a DVD ripping software so I can play movies on my iPod. Got a ton of viruses due to the fact I was running Norton AV back the Good Ol' Days.

That was a couple of years ago, my internet & general security knowledge has grown quite a bit lol.

I hate it so much. I love Kotaku but the new layout is garbage. Anyway, in all seriousness, lets see. I got a virus from using a MS points generator (I know, I'm a dumbass), I deleted Ubuntu by deleting the whole partition, which made my PC useless for a short period of time (it wouldn't even boot into Windows. Easily fixed by reinstalling Ubuntu). I got my first account here banned when I was a complete troll and didn't know how to properly use a forum

. True story (samsam12 was my old username).

I think one of the biggest mistakes people make online is creating a facebook or myspace account. u know things r bad when all u have is virtual friends.

Seriously, it took me a minute to find that typo. I knew that update was spelled incorrectly, but looking at all of the letters, it looked fine.

Then I saw it. Then I shat bricks.

 

[Raiser]

Back when I was like 12-13, I used IE for several months without anti-virus. A mistake I will never make again.

This.

I still remember it well.

Let me see...
Well, uploading GTA CW video's to Youtube and getting banned for it. Darned copyright.

Oh, and downloading keygens with virusses. This caused my laptop to crash 3 times already. Why do I keep downloading that stuff?

 

[jceggbert5]

Probably reregging on some forums that I was mad at the admins there...
