Stop. Install your favorite ad blocker, like ublock origin. Refresh.
Work smarter not harder
YEA! We just kept closing popups till we got the right one!!!!
I remember that time. Unlock saved me. Now every time I borrow a computer I have ten or 20 seconds to find the "right button" knowledge from the depth of my mind.
That moment of panic when a DOS window appears and then disappears.
Time to unplug the network cable, reboot to safe mode, and dig out that copy of Malwarebytes Antimalware.
No lie, this is how I learnt keyboard hotkeys as a kid. I'd click middle mouse to open a link on the site in a new tab, with my hand ready to go on Ctrl + W. The nanosecond I detected a fake site, I'd closer that sucker and move onto the next link.
Oh boy did I bring a lot of viruses on my computer in the process in the name of efficiency & greed (& hefty amount of stupidity).
About 2 years ago I spent most of a Christmas sorting out my MIL's new laptop, uninstalling junk and whatnot, and I tossed ublock origin on there. A few days ago I came back to sort out the Realtek audio drivers which uninstalled themselves via Windows Update. I find she has an entirely different laptop now, branded as"Acemagic" but through the magic of forced Microsoft Sign-in ublock origin synced to Edge on this new laptop, and there was no crapware installed despite the laptop clearly being in use for about 6 months already!
TL;DR install ublock origin on your parents computers to save yourself some trouble down the line
If you didn't give your parents computer, digital syphilis are you really a millennial?
Install Radarr and avoid torrent websites completely.
Why was it ever disabled to start with?
Every time a dodgy site has asked me to disable it, it still doesn't work, and now you have a bunch of tracking cookies and has to look at ads for other porn sites.
