All
I wanted to do…
Was
drink my fresh brew…
Check
emails…
And
find a nice quote to post on Facebook...
About
Mother’s Day…
When
all of a sudden…
Up
pops the Final Media Player Pop Up.
It
needed updating or something.
Sure,
sure go ahead—click.
A
few minutes later it was done…
And
then there another pop up to accept.
Sure,
sure, I accept—click.
Then
I accepted something else—click.
And
another—click.
And
another—click.
Wait!
What
was I accepting?
Another
pop up popped up and—DAMN!
I
accepted Surf Canon? PC Optimizer?
Driver
Scanner? Yahoo as my default browser…
And
who knows how many more!
Are
you kidding me? NO!
I
didn’t realize I was accepting all of these!
It’s
not fair to take advantage of me…
At 5:00 in the morning!
That’s
it! I’ve had enough!
I’m
going to invent….hmm…let me see…
I
know—the SCANNY CAM…
This Scanny Cam will mount on computer screens…
Each
time someone wants to use their computer…
They have to look at the screen and be scanned.
The Scanny Cam will then calculate:
Are
the person's eyes fully open?
Is
the person at the computer fully awake?
Is the person capable of comprehending anything?
If
all these questions are not a ‘yes’…
Then
the computer will not allow the person…
To
download, buy, or accept anything.
And especially
if the Scanny Cam…
Sees
the person is taking out a credit card…
Then Scanny Cam will lock-up the keyboard...
Until
the person can fully prove they are fully functioning.
So?
Have
you ever been waylaid by pop ups?
Have
you ever accepted way more than you wanted?
Always,
Em-Musing

Always say no! Evil of them to take advantage of brains not quite awake yet.
lol. YOu know how some kids say 'my mommy told me not to talk to strangers?'- that's pretty much my mindset when it comes to pop-ups. My husband has lectured me over and over 'just say NO'! Scanny Cam sounds like the second best solution though:)
I always say no, too. And I uncheck any checked boxes I see. However, if I was sitting at the computer at 5am, the story would surely be different. I'm barely awake enough to type now, and I've been up since six.
Oh, no! I always say no, but I'm probably missing out on stuff too. LOL
That's just cruel to be taken advantage of that early in the morning. :)
This was a really interesting post. Thanks for sharing!

Oh no! My antivirus must be a super-strong one because popups rarely make it through.
I need other cams. Start with Scanny Cam and work your way from there. I'm sure you have a market for them all.
Yes. When I was married. LOL
Ooh, could this scanny cam keep tabs on the lowering level of liquid in the wine bottle too? This idea is pure genius. Good luck undoing all the things you did, hehe.
