The first big announcement is that my blog has reached 25,000 Pageviews! It's insane, right? The second announcement is that my blog is at this point being targeted by haters and imitators.
As for the first point, I have been subject to personal attacks on the web because I am sharing information on how to prevent you from being a victim. People calling me names, refusing to listen to reason when I tell them that the point that they are arguing is not the case at all.
As for the second point, I have noticed quite a few bloggers that have now been making posts quite like mine, they are attempting to actually imitate what I am doing. It's good that I am sparking interest, but this is dangerous and I will tell you why.
The people imitating me know very little about the subject they are trying to talk about, and while imitation is usually the highest form of flattery, it actually insults me here. This is because the imitators are sharing information and modifying it to claim it as their own. The problum? They are skipping steps, adding in steps that could ruin a computer. And the first rule in malware fighting is "First, do no harm." This translates that you should not be talking about something without knowing what you are talking about.
I don't know what I will do about any of this and likely will not know for some time. I don't even know about the fact that this blog post is an April Fools Day joke.
Wait.... What?
As much as you are laughing now, think about how my early drafts of this post must have been.
April Fools Everyone. Now get back to work! :D
