Don't click on links that aren't safe. Just Don't do it!
An associate of mine is bumming big time. And I feel for the guy. He's normally so on top of everything that he makes my head spin some days. The other day as he was working on a project for me he stopped over to show me what he thought would work out the best. He mentioned that he was going to do a little more searching on the internet as well. I liked what I saw and wasn't sure we needed to look further.
But he wanted to research it a little bit further because he had some more cool ideas in mind. And then for some unknown reason he clicked on a link in the post he was reading. The link simply said - For more ideas click here -
And in a split second his screen went dark.....
The look on his face said it all. Oh Cr**! What in heavens name was he thinking doing such a crazy thing. It was so unlike this whiz of a guy to make such a mistake. He immediately called the help desk to see if they could help him diagnose the issue and figure out how he could solve it. They were only able to go so far without him bringing in the laptop.
Turns out his hard drive is fried - totally fried - and his back up is not current.
I'm probably speaking to the choir here, right? But just to be on the safe side once again, Be sure to NOT make this mistake and click on links that you just don't know anything about. There are wacky folks out there looking to create havoc for others. Why they spend their time on the dark side, I have no idea. But they do and it's real. Also be sure you back up your files - daily. If you ever do get yourself in a bad situtation at least you'll be able to recover the information and save yourself some major headaches.
Don't click on links that aren't safe. Just Don't do it!
