Technical question

[BIG_DADDY]

With my tech guy resigning I have nobody to help me out for a little bit so if anyone knows how to help me with this I would really appreciate it. For no reason yesterday everytime I view another page when on the internet my browser opens another window in my toolbar titled Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you go to open the window to see what's there you can't. The only thing you can do is right click and close. It opens these additional windows everytime I change websights or view another story. I also noticed yesterday that can no longer click on a link that someone posts and have that sight open I just get a blank page opening with nothing for an address. Thanks

Yep.

But I think the only way Microsoft will do this is if people demand it. And really, I'm not even JUST talking about malware and browser security. Windows users have, for many many years, just accepted the fact that their experience sucks.

Blue screen of death? "Ahh, just reboot. No big deal."
Error messages? "Ignore them. They mean nothing."
Pop-up ads? "Just run ad-aware, it'll take care of them. Do it once a week or so."
Slowness? "Defrag. Reboot. Reformat, if you must."

All computers (including Macs and unix machines) have these problems to some degree, but it's way, way worse on Windows. And people just accept it and move on. Would you just accept it if your PS2 started getting error messages? What if your TV got spyware? Or if your microwave needed a good defrag before you could cook your meal?

For some reason, we tend to just accept that computers suck, and that's just the way it is.

It's not good enough, and it won't be until people start demanding change. The only way we have to demand change is to punt the "big boys" for the "little guys" who do it right.
