The attack of the virtual STDs

Just the other day, we were laughing at my neighbor who was slapped by a big fat telephone bill. IDD calls made to Papua New Guinea costing up to thousands. Cute thing was, he doesn't know who made these 'calls'. He suspected his dear poor Indonesian maid, and was asking my dad to check things out for him at Telekom. Little did he know that these 'calls' were made due to his own sweet yet careless internet surfings. Maybe the chinese dailies did not publish this issue in their daily papers. So we can't blame him anyway.

So that was it. We were laughing at the consequences some people had to face because they wanted to have some 'fun' online. That was my neighbor's story. Back to my family's. I brought back my desktop for my dad to use since I had a notebook already. In just 1 week, my dad told me his PC was infested with spywares and worms. Huh? One week? Fine, I will give it a check during my holidays. Gawd! His PC was so infested that the entire OS crashed the moment it finished booting up. I was wondering then, what sites on earth did my dad surf? Hehe, you guys should know better where to contract these 'diseases'...I would call it the virtual STDs. Dad didn't install any antivirus so, his PC had AIDS. No cure. Have to reformat.

There I was reinstalling the entire OS for him and with no warning, the entire PC shut down by itself. Not knowing why, I tried switching on the power button again, and then a sweet Roti Boy aroma of burned plastic plus some soft hissing sound (like marjerin being tossed onto a hot plate.) Hah? Damn.

Not my fault. Please. I was just a 'doctor' trying to diagnose that damn computer and it gave up on me. So I handed my dad an invoice on what spare parts have to be bought with the (hiked up) price. Maybe he would want to get a new PC. I don't know. Moral of the story, don't be a pervert. Stay loyal. No STDs. No virtual STDs too and you save your wallet from greedy doctors like me.
