Trackers and cookies don't bother me. It's the almost never ending Chinese sourced firewall attacks that bother me.
Just one of the many...58.218.199.25

Duh....winning!

;<)

Wait .... what?

#1:

I see you
Cause you won’t get out of my way
I hear you
Cause you won’t quit screaming my name
I feel you
Cause you won’t stop touching my skin

Man, how I hate having days like that.

#2

Graphic novel/CGI/Rotoscopic mixed-media total eyegasm.

Loved it.

[oh, wait...they were supposed to be creepy...never mind]

[Salamander]

It was already like that when I got here!!!
I swear!!!

[okay...what’d I do now?]

;]

[Salamander]

It provokes “prey stalking mode” but maybe that’s just me.

[*growwwwwl*]

If one ‘harvests’ your email address and you drown in a sea of spam a couple days later, you’d hate ‘em.

I have a Netgear hardware router/firewall.

Have you ever tried anything like that?

Along with a good software firewall, you don’t get much aggravation.

I stopped checking my firewall logs a long time ago...it freaked me out to see just how much scary crap was trying to bash its way in without me knowing about it.
[the worst was the “Smurfing” stuff]

Way back when I got my first one, I stupidly set the router to ‘notify me by email when an intrusion attempt is detected”.

Freaking alert emails were rolling in like an avalanche 24/7.

Turned it off after 2 days of that.

[Salamander]

What?

How’s Gunner’s new video coming along?

He’s vanished so he must be up to something.

[Lees Swrd]

I have to say thats the best one I ever watched LMFAO!

[Salamander]

If you say “ogre” repeatedly, after a while it loses all meaning and makes no sense.

[kinda like me]

;>

[Salamander]

ROFLMAO!

What are the odds of so much wonderful stupidity converging in one particular place and time?

[philman_36]

Have you ever tried anything like that?
Nope. Just software, no hardware.

I turned my alert off a long time ago too. It was too distracting.
I was "cleaning up" the other day after a day of multiple shutdowns and decided to look at my logs to make sure something hadn't gotten through. I was amazed at the number of attacks.
Antivirus, malware, system cleaners...still haven't figured out exactly what causes the shutdowns, but I'm working on it.

And I know all about the full in box. I simply let my account expire from no activity.

[Salamander]

Malwarebytes is pretty good and Zone Alarm’s internet suite is good, too.
[Kinda naggy, but good]

Malwarebytes snags the stuff Zone Alarm misses.

[philman_36]

Already got both of those.

[sport]

I see that you have a fan.

[Lees Swrd]

Two rocks two on the ground what are the odds! LMAO

[Salamander]

Good on ya, then...:)

The Lord works in mysterious hilarious ways.

>> “but, this happens to be Jim Robinsons website and I assume like Marc’s he can do what he wants to with his website.” <<

.
Doesn’t look like a gripe about what Jim does with his website, but about what turkeys like Humblegunner do to his website.

HG is too often over the edge; nobody is forced to click any links on FR; its optional.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Wow. I get to be in the middle! Awesome! *steals pic*
