A good few years ago my pc became infected with the 'Ramnit' virus. Infected every file everywhere and I had to get disinfedted at a shop. It still wasn't quite 'right' afterward.

I was using PCTools internet security at the time. Never again.

I've not had any truly terrible experiences, but I did once live in an area where one company held a monopoly on the cabling, with the result that they charged double what everyone paid in the rest of the country, and the service was truly appalling, and there was nothing you could do about it.

And of course there's the tedious keyboard warriors, who you make the fool mistake of getting into an argument with, then have to quietly withdraw when you realise that they're not interested in polite discourse. It does bug me when decent content creators on youtube or wherever, technical guys providing a valuable service, and they become all jaded because of the sheer amount of bile and abuse they're subjected to by an army of bored 14 year olds.

Another thing that bugs me sometimes, is that I have a 'desirable' email address, because I'm a geek and have a not completely unusual name (let's say my email address is 'john.smith@gmail.com'). So I get lots and lots and lots of emails sent to me accidentally, including orders to military personnel about upcoming maneuvers, flight bookings, arrangements to view a swiss chalet, bar-mitzvah invites (she was actually really nice), and even one bloke who meant to email himself all his online banking information, complete with account numbers and passwords, and emailed it to me by mistake. Anyway, one chap with my name must've signed up for a dating site and put my email address instead of his, because a few months ago I was inundated with females sending me messages that began in mid-conversation, attempted 'hangout' phone calls, and one lass who, when I told her her mistake, still tried to keep talking to me . And then I get the 'I know you're innocent, but you should still feel guilty' look from the wife

I know what you mean , I used to up-load my World of Tanks games on YouTube and I used to get abuse posted that I was a ' red noob ' or a negative thanks left and the comment that was posted ' Disliked as you mentioned Mighty Jingles and I don't like him and he's a noob ' -

I always , always deleted the comments and never replied to them as the worst mistake you can ever do , is fed a troll -

but I totally agree , the comments bile and sheer hatred on You Tube
is just awful - I don't blame some uploaders that ' don't allow comments '
to the videos -
that's why this Forum is a god-send , you never , ever get nasty comments - you might get someone disagree with you , but then they post their comments and make a subjective argument ( which is totally fine )

Happens on occasions at the moment. 'Critical alert from Microsoft.' Four hours into a mammoth filejoker download when you get that shit from another link. The only way out is to hit task manager and wipe out internet. I fucking hate the evil cunts who invented that. How on earth can you not just turn off a single webpage.

Anyone suffering the superfast popup page from 1fichier at the moment? I'm pretty fast with the mouse but I often get that boy or girl crap. Even depositfiles are at it in a less intrusive way. Adblock is behind the times at this moment.

I agree, this shit is now allmost every streamingsites (porn), and it is fucking annoying!

I wonder why this sites allow this shit, greedy?

And worst of all, popup- and adblockers dosent block this! Therefore, these streamingsites are very soon unusable.

Second thing i hate is this: Some of the hostfilesites Download sites have very strict download limits, you can dl ex. only 20 gigs in 3 days! Then you must wait few days!

And when you buy hostfileservice, there is no mention of this limitation anywhere!

1fichier are throwing up that boy or girl popup again. Bastrids. May their tellys only pick up Russell Brand.

I've just changed my internet browser to chrome from microshit edge. The reason? In the last 10 days since an update 80% of my downloads have frozen. Even the usually perfect depositfiles has been rotten. In 24 hours I've had complete success and higher download speeds with chrome.
