Should I stay or Should I go ?
Jul 20, 2010 Computer and Internet, Jokes and Humor
Accident happens. It’s no excuse to visiting unwanted sites on the Internet.
You forget which sites were reported good or bad by our awesome portals like google or yahoo or bing with security toolbars such as the FREE AVG and a few others like Google Toolbar.
Upon displaying search results, we are very careful about visiting only the good sites and completely ignoring the ones marked as “This site may harm your computer” or Red X marks next to links.
Accident happens not because we click a lot, but because there are way too many things to do for us as soon as we get online.
We are way too impatient! Gotta check mail, gotta watch videos, gotta watch news, gotta do this and that. Did I forget to mention Facebook, Youtube, MTV, Hulu, Fancast, Twiter. One of these days, you will get stuck on a site for sure.
If, you or someone in the family accidentally got into a site where you are locked. There is help. Stay cool. Summer is hot this time around though!
The back button won’t take you back. Site comes back and may be a pop up button too. Closing the window will bring you a popup again. Closing the Popup scares us even more. Yes and No or Cancel buttons are like multiple choices. The question in our head remains the same, Which one will install adware, spyware, virus ?
What makes us so frustrating is that some Pop ups won’t close even after clicking the [X] button. Let alone the fear we have; We still have the curiosity about the X button– what will it do ? Close? Really ? or Install Craps ?
With our heart beating faster than normal, we are stuck in a Quick Sand.



Which one of the buttons should we click ?
I often laugh a lot when I get stuck. Why don’t they make some funny pop ups.
We are not so stupid. We understand when you make us difficult to leave. That simply means you are trying to make us stay on your site or install something that we don’t want.
Solution to get out :
- Hold ALT key then Press F4 and see if it closes; it may not.
- Hold CTRL key then Press F4 and see if it closes; it may not.
- Press what we all call the magic key. Press and Hold CTRL, then ALT, then, DEL, click on the “Start Task Manager”
- Delete all instances of iexplore.exe and firefox.exe
Next time when you start your Internet Browser such as firefox, start a new sesson. Hit that home key right away. If you have multiple tabs on. Close them ASAP. Also Good Luck !
Adding to the popup (Quicksand) survival….
by clicking “NO” I have had more adware installed. But please don’t take this as my advise to click “Yes” either.
A pop up with Yes or No options is never a good advertisement nor a useful program. If you hit the back button and the site won’t let you go back, why go back and visit that site again. We wouldn’t !
Should I stay or Should I go ? The Answer is Go !
