This was too funny to resist putting up. One of those things that you won’t forget when you’re the one trying to explain things with people who don’t know computers or the internet outside of myspace. The scenario is trevor has a trojan on his computer that displays porn pop-ups. Should it be cleaned with antivirus or spyware? I dunno, I hadn’t personally seen it so I told him to get both.

(10:01 PM) Alex Chernikov: but the weird thing is
(10:01 PM) Alex Chernikov: if you actually type out your msn password for your account into the messenger window, it’ll turn into a bunch of stars
(10:01 PM) Alex Chernikov: ******
(10:01 PM) Alex Chernikov: see?
(10:02 PM) Alex Chernikov: i hate that
(10:02 PM) trevor stewart: weird
(10:02 PM) Alex Chernikov: my password is actually pretty common to type
(10:02 PM) Alex Chernikov: like a common word
(10:02 PM) Alex Chernikov: so whenever i want to say ******, it turns out in stars
(10:02 PM) Alex Chernikov: ******!!!!
(10:02 PM) Alex Chernikov: gah
(10:03 PM) trevor stewart: lol
(10:03 PM) Alex Chernikov: didnt fall for that one, now did ya?
(10:04 PM) trevor stewart: stop it! it is pc genius vs. pc literate….of course i’ll believe you
(10:04 PM) Alex Chernikov: illiterate
(10:04 PM) Alex Chernikov: ok, change that
(10:04 PM) trevor stewart: hey…i’m not dumb…..i’m average
(10:05 PM) Alex Chernikov: yes, you know how to use myspace and you only get trojans once in a while
(10:05 PM) Alex Chernikov: makes you quite average id say
(10:05 PM) trevor stewart: lol thanks

…some time later…

(10:23 PM) Alex Chernikov: on the other hand, those popups will stop you from getting on myspace in class
(10:24 PM) Alex Chernikov: which equals better grades
(10:24 PM) Alex Chernikov: nothing will help you trev, not even reformatting your computer
(10:24 PM) Alex Chernikov: sorry, its a lost cause
(10:24 PM) trevor stewart: really
(10:24 PM) Alex Chernikov: better luck next time?
(10:24 PM) Alex Chernikov: and the trojan is airborn
(10:25 PM) Alex Chernikov: so every laptop that enters your house that you think about using for myspace at college will get that infectious trojan disease
(10:25 PM) Alex Chernikov: and the hardrive will fill up at the brink of destruction
(10:26 PM) trevor stewart: are you serious?
(10:26 PM) trevor stewart: plz say no
(10:26 PM) Alex Chernikov: WTF!?!
