What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Stupid, evil, rubbish Firefox. I downloaded it last night because I wanted to watch a film and I had to download some codec that only worked with Firefox etc, etc, and now I've got viruses and trojans and security alerts popping up left, right and centre which had never happened before. It's driving me insane. Anything I do to try and make it better only asks me for money ... think it might be time for a trip to the computer shop.

That's so strange... I've used Firefox almost exclusively for the past several years and I've never had anything of the like occur.

Well I wish I had your good luck with it! I don't even know why I did something so stupid. I saw what having that programme did to my sister's computer and yet still thought it was a good idea to put it on my own.

You know, after I downloaded FF3, my AVG-Free has caught a damn lot of trojans. And I'm too poor to buy any real antivirus, oh! I just make it a habit to save all my papers in my Yahoo mail, because the important files in my computer are just my papers and my pictures.

Yeah everything I couldn't stand to lose is on a memory stick as of last night so I just have to keep that safe now! It's all so irritating though, and to get it fixed is going to cost me money I do not have - so onto the list of things going to Mordor can go being unable to find a job!

I assign those little pimples that grow right on the nostril. Hurts all the time, no matter how small they are.
