IF YOU'RE A MAC USER, READ THIS.
so i decided to update my tumblr layout today and wanted to use abstract art as a fixed backdrop. so i went on google and began absent-mindedly clicking on pictures that looked good. next thing i knew, this pop-up came out of fricking nowhere, telling me my computer has malicious content and a program called MAC PROTECTOR installed onto my computer. there were a couple copies that installed because everytime i tried to hit the back button or close and reopen safari, the same pop-up came on. so like, wtf?!? so i opened the program, which was a virus protection program, and it began to scan my computer... and started to barf warning after warning about how many parts of my mac was infected. OH MY SHIT. i thought it was weird coz edwin said his mac never got any viruses, even when he was looking at websites with high risks, and when he gave it to me, he said it should be fine. but wtf is this!? so i went on google (thank god for google!!) and typed in: how to remove mac os x viruses. yup. thank god for google. because that stupid motherfucking program that was installed in my computer was a motherfucking virus itself!! it will fake false infection warnings for you and you can't even use the program to delete these infected files because you have to register the program.. and how do you register? by paying via credit card of course!!! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT ENTERING YOUR CC INFO!! did i mention you can't even just easily click and drop this stupid program into trash because it will run and run and run and you can't just "quit" the program.. gaaaaaaaaah!! so this stupid Mac Protector program goes by many names.. when i looked it up on my mac, it was Mac Shield.. and then when i closed my applications window and re-opened it, it became Mac Protector. okaaaay.. programs don't just change names ya know -_- if you encounter this, DON'T PANIC LOL here's a website on how to properly remove it: click hereeee!! man, i almost lost my mac... and it wasn't even originally mine LOL thank god for google. once you remove the program properly, don't forget to go to DOWNLOADS and permanently delete those motherfucking copies of the program that were downloaded. and then restart your computer (optional..)
