Contrary to popular belief, you cannot catch such an infection from an e-grouphug. My suspicion is that he caught it while listening to a Lil' Kim mp3 off Napster. Even if you're on a Mac, those things need to be virus-scanned.mad jew said:I know a guy who e-grouphugged once. Ten years later, BAM, he got an ear infection.![]()
Not to preach, but anytime you're going to be exchanging... files... with someone online, please put on a firewall. Unlike what your friends might tell you, a firewall does not in any way make using the internet less fun. Also, unless you feel you're ready for a baby computer (and most schools help teach kids what that'd be like by making them carry a 6 pound book around in a backpack all day, "charging" it several times a day, checking it for scratches, etc.), stay away from apple.com. It might seem fun, but visiting there can be an expensive and time-consuming mistake which could seriously alter your life, sucking up time and money you could otherwise have spent on yourself.
