Some of you might or might not have heard of this bug that is affecting at least 60% of Internet traffic. See the article below.

I checked out my browser, Firefox and got the reassuring message: "All good, firefox.com seems fixed or unaffected!"

It is on the front pages of UK newspapers today.

Scare tactics to sell unsalable crap to the masses.


It is my belief that these companies who make "anti-virus", "anti-theft", and "anti-bug" software, are the one's that make the viruses, bugs, and theftware in the first place.

Like the government creating a new strain of flu, so the drug companies they have investments in make more money selling the "cure".

Its these type of things that put me off the internet, very scary.
