Who wants to tell me how stupid I am?
I adore dogs, especially puppies, and last night I came across the most adorable "free" screen saver. I knew at the time I saw it I shouldn't do it, but I couldn't help myself.Those puppies were just so cute. Now my computer is now filled with crap, my search results are screwed up and I have to uninstall and undo everything I did. GGGRRRRR.

OK, how dumb am I?

2. Certainly not stupid... just guilty of exercising poor judgement.
Next time, buy a screensaver or wallpapers that are certifiably spyware-free. They're out there and generally don't cost all that much.

11. I'm sorry..
just an expression. Both have a reputation for not-so-smart moments just like I did. But you're a Democrat, so you don't fit those sterotypes.

9. hmm
maybe the "aaa" at the beginning of "aaascreensavers.com" stands for "AAAH!! My computer is screwed up!"

8. try webshots

I use them and no problems and also you can add your own pics to the screen savers. Don't feel bad. I fell for the cursor scam one when I was young and innocent. Now I run ad-aware every night to make sure no surprises.
