Default Offically **Its been a bad day***

Well...I was off at lunch and for the first time ever...I took the freeway home. I work like 15mins via streets from mymy house and the 10mins via freeway... So admitt I was speeding like 56 in 35.....So I got pulled over and he gave me a ticket... Not mention I was almost home when he got me. I could see my house. So now I'm back work and UI havent had lunch because this cop took my lunch hour!
To make things worst..I just found out that my computer as four trojan viruses.

Now...I can't even fight this ticket..I'm just going to take it and do traffic school...

a trojan virus is like a remote program, it allows people who have access to the IP address to basically have free roam in the computer and could completely wipe out everything, get credit card numbers via keyloggers, passwords, social securties numbers basically anything you do on your computer......

But Keep your head up things could be worse, just brush it off and dont let it stress you out that will only make it worse....Hope you have a better day

It could happen from looking at it too, but I meant that towards the OP... I know he wouldn't do it. Just thought I would throw it out there...

Trojan's aren't like computer viruses. Trojans create like.. a backdoor to your computer so the programmer could watch what your pwrds and accounts are and steal them that way. Viruses you actually need to install something and then they just wreak havoc on your computer without opening a backdoor.

:D

Whatever... and pluto isn't a planet. The point is, people don't need to hear the technical side of stuff... True, trojan horses aren't technically a virus, but the majority of non techy people won't know the difference anyways. If you tell them it's a virus, they know it's bad. You don't have to go all wikipedia on them.

Well if you want to get technical, atleast give the right information. If the OP doesn't know what a trojan horse is, what makes you think he is going to know what an IP address or a keylogger is? I mean, I could be wrong, but I see it all the time. People don't know how to explain stuff and end up confusing the person who asked the question even more!

And the information YOU gave was wrong. You can get a virus without installing anything. And they can do more to your computer than simply wreak havoc to your computer.

And yes poor pluto.

It shows maturity that you accept responsibility for the ticket. You were speeding and you got caught. It sucks, but that's the chance we take when we speed.
