I had the equivalent of a full physical on my computer today.

Arduous.

Not for me but certainly for the guy who did it.

I had lots and lots of spam to get rid of. All kinds. Don't ask.

A lot of it has to do with visiting questionable web sites, mostly X rated.

I admit it.

It is a hard price to pay since most of the stops are not very enjoyable. Mostly because they are there.

No more now.

Also a lot of stuff that comes with making pics for the blog.

It is not unusual for an active computer lifer, he said.

It took two hours, me standing by and Adrian, the pro, asking questions.

I can say that it is running a lot faster now.

A lot of the slowness of the computer is from all the junk that got on here bootlegged to legitimate sites or downloads. You google something standard and it comes with an intermediate connection concocted by the spam guys.

I have wondered why people create spam. Is it malicious? Adrian says that a lot of it is to get you to see the unwanted site by this kind of masking.

So, I am making some resolutions.

Careful consideration before I start cruising the web again.

Part of it was that I have not had this done for quite awhile. He will come back in four or five months.
