This morning I thought about a story that happened during the summer holiday last year. One

day I was watching a movie on my laptop, when suddenly an advertisement about a stray cat

which needed adoption appeared on the screen. As I was curious, I clicked on it, but it redirected

me to a site which was unrelated to the initial topic It was filled with subtle content and in 30

seconds my computer shut down. I realized I couldn’t turn it on again because it got a virus.

Unfortunately, my parents are not working in the IT field so I had to pay to get my computer

fixed. I was fooled and I kind of messed up my computer but at least I learnt a precious lesson;

Not believe anymore in fake pop-ups!
