Virus Headaches
I seem to have picked up a virus today. Not one of those head cold types or something more serious like Dengue fever or HIV, God forbid. No almost as serious for blogging people - a computer virus. I am still trying to track it down to its lair.
It is stealing words from my webpages. It is bizarre really. I type "Britain" into Google - the search results are returned but the word "Britain" is absent from the page. Like someone came along with an eraser and rubbed the word out. I logged into this blog - the letters I was typing in didn't appear on the page, it was something of an act of faith that they were there at all.
Quite why people do this I cannot understand. Viruses are little programmes that are designed to get copied, get spread around and cause some mischief to the poor devil's computer they land on. They are really very much like viruses attacking living creatures. So what satisfaction the creatures who create computer viruses get - knowing they are messing up someone else's computer - someone they will never meet, well it is a mystery.
I think the computer is about to die - I would add a picture to this post - a screen shot of what Google looks like on my computer right now. But the buttons to attached the image have gone. What a caper... . .
