April 1st

#1 Post by GuiGuy »

Somebody ("adrian15" ?) has managed to hack my W10 dual boot machine so that booting from CD gives me a long "April fool" rigmarole before actually booting.
Very funny, but I hope it stops tomorrow and for ever.

If the perpetrator sees this, please confess!

That's a poor April fools gag. :rolleyes: What would of been a good April fools gag is making Windows 10 not being able to spy on you and be imperious to viruses. :wink:
I am command line illiterate. :confused: I copy & paste to the terminal. Liars, Wiseguys, Trolls, and those without manners will be added to my ignore list. :mad:

Yes, Mauser, I did not like the trick. I am 85 years old - fortunately it did not give me a heart attack.
With firefox and thunderbird W10 seems to work OK for me but it is obviously vulnerable to hackers.
