Today, I managed to infect a clean computer with a virus while looking up info on how to rid my other computer of the same virus. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom thought it would be a good idea to see what websites I go on from my computer while I wasn't home. She clicked the link that gave my computer a virus that I just got rid of a few days ago. FML
Today, I realized that my virus protection program now has a virus. FML
Today, I got two viruses on my laptop. One was a fake anti-spyware program that cluttered the screen with pop-ups. The other opened the browser repeatedly, each time to a generic porn site. This all conveniently happened at work, on a projector and during a meeting. FML
Today, I'm in my third week at a new job. Using an online service our company recommends, I accidentally downloaded a virus that is now working its way through our website, randomly sending our customers Viagra ads via our email. I personally had to tell the founder of the company. FML
Today, my computer was hit by something bigger than a virus: a car. FML
Today, my nitwit son infected our family computer with some sort of mad bastard virus after getting fooled by the promise of some non-existent Hannah Montana nudes. FML
Today, discovered that all the viruses I have gotten on my computer at work haven't been from anything I've done, but because my boss has secretly been using it after hours to download or watch porn so he wouldn't risk getting a virus on his own computer. I've lost 3 major projects due to this. FML
Today, my dad was sat on my laptop in the living room trying to learn how to do some rewiring around the house when he, and I quote, ”clicked on the thing.” My laptop is now riddled with so many viruses it’s basically a house brick. FML
Today, the new office IT guy figured the best way to get the virus off my computer was to wipe my entire hard drive. He was kind enough to back my data up and restore everything from the backups. Including the virus. FML
Today, my mom borrowed my computer without my permission and downloaded a virus. I came home to a blue screen of death. She refuses to admit fault and pay for a new computer. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe you should be more careful with what sites you go on...?

Malwarebytes, AVG, and CCleaner, pal. If you can't kill it with those three, it's reasonably okay to say it's time to reformat.

Because the ones you pay for arent that great. Macafee especially, that always causes me more problems then it should.

McAfee and Nortons are scams. They hold any virus you do get until your license nears expiration, then starts dumping the quarantine files so they can pop up messages saying "see what we saved you from, don't you want to renew your license? PAY ME!" The FIRST Thing we do with any new computer is uninstall those!

For these purposes, Linux-Live-Systems are best suited. No installation means no infection hazard. My recommendation would be Linux Mint.

If you can afford it you should keep a cheap laptop like an Acer Netbook that runs Ubuntu or some other Linux software instead of Windows. Then you can look up what you need to fix your regular computer if you find that you prefer Windows for day to day use. You can also split the hard drive and run dual operating systems, but I usually don't recommend that unless the person has experience with computers and Linux.

Macs get viruses just as easy, it's just that people don't waste time creating viruses for Macs.

Don't go clicking pop up ads. Especially the ones that say this computer has a virus click ok to see how many, or whatever it says. They're plenty of good free virus protectors online. That have a already been recommend. If that doesn't work restore your computers to a point before the virus was installed. You should be good to go.
