But many diseases are caused by bacteria, and it is these against which antibiotics are effective, until the weak ones that keep the resistant ones in check are killed off, anyway.
I got my first and last computer virus in 1991 – at work! Since then I’ve made a study of them. My main defense is that I am aware of them and the various ways that they get transmitted and I keep my OS, programs, anti-virus and anti-malware up to date. Most people don’t. I am counting on the bad guys going after softer targets.
It’s sort of like the old joke about two people in the woods being chased by a bear. One puts on running shoes. The other says, “You’re crazy, you can’t outrun a bear.” The other responds, “I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you.”
Quick! Everyone douse your Internet Explorers with bleach! Kill those viruses DEAD!.and if your computer has problems after that….take it to your nearest computer fix it place and tell them you cured your computer of all viruses, now it won’t work.

Accuracy aside, it’s still a funny strip.

Yes, buy a Mac. Pay 3X as much. I’ve always thought Mac computers get viruses too, but the owners are too oblivious to realize it.

I am an internet explorer and I do heed the warning’s of the Interweb. That spider web leaves poison and traps the unsuspected crawlers.
