Stop surfing stupid. That's today's tech tip.
If something looks sketchy it probably is. Wealthy Nigerian government officials do not need your help moving large sums of money. No website is really selling an Xbox 360 for $35.
Stop opening every random email attachment sent to you.
And for goodness sake, stop clicking on every ad banner that catches your eye. How stupid are people? An IT consultant posted an ad that offered a free virus infection from a site called drivebydownload.info -- and hundreds of people clicked on the ad! eWeek wrote:
Stevens [the IT consultant] says that he designed his ad to make it look fishy, but he had no problem getting Google to accept it and has had no complaints to date. And, although a healthy amount of people clicked on it, he said theres "no way to know what motivated them to click on my ad. I did not submit them to an IQ-test."

I hate to think how much this kind of tip is needed. It gets scary thinking that the same people that click a link for a "free virus infection" reproduce...AND VOTE!
