This is all a mystery to an old school illiterate such as myself, and I keep scratching my head as to why bad people would go through all this trouble in order to screw with our computers. I can't accept the notion that these cyber-criminals are doing it in order to suck personal, useful information out of the circuits because there are tens of millions of us out there and it would take forever to scan even a small fraction and then they would have to actually make use of the information they obtain, but only after sorting out the people who aren't broke. I guess the direct Email scam artists have nothing better to do with their miserable lives other than to think up ways to con stupid, greedy people out of a few thousand bucks and of course there's the twisted clowns who have fun getting people upset but in the final analysis, they're all small potatoes and I don't understand why these creeps don't get caught. As such, here I am, sitting in my dumb little corner of the universe, thinking that the only ones who are making millions on the issue are those who are running industries that compel us to buy the products which keep the viruses, trojans, gnats, bats, and coqui frogs at bay.
