copy and paste links do not be a CLICKER and do not click on that cute picture of a cat

probably kitty litter too 

but seriously I remember a site did a survey once a few years back and it was just to see how many idiots
out there are clickers .... and the add went something like DO NOT click this because
it will download malware to your PC and yup the llink was harmless anand then they took you to thier site
and explained what could have happened had it been real but the numbers were in the 100,000

no wonder it is easy to infect because there are soooo many idiots out there who have
NO idea about IT security



good article mate
