Another rant!

If i where a farmer and my heard of sheep had to be slaughtered due to infection, i could fill in a form and receive some money back in way of compensation. (some farmers have actually managed to get more for the slaughtered meat than they would have on the open market).

However, if my and anyone elses computer systems are effected by a virus then tough!! Hours and hours of downtime, expensive repairs, sometimes easier to 'slaughter' the system and buy new. What do we receive - NOTHING, just you should have bought some anti-virus software! - well we have and it didnt work !! Maybe Mr/Ms Farmer you should keep your hygene standards up and use disinfectant !!!

I agree; It's the persons fault for downloading the virus!

It's like a bridge with a sign saying "DON'T JUMP, YOU COULD DIE!" and then you go and jump off.

People can pretty easily prevent computer viruses though. This guy needs to brush up on his spelling but tat's not what this is about.

ok

Ok well the point this guy is trying to make is that even if we protect our PC's and they get broken we still gotta pay. but if a herd of sheep catch a disease why do they get compensation.

It's your fault if the protection fails. And it's nature that a herd of sheep die, you can't prevent it.

Well to give a simlar senario, it would be more like if mr farmer had just imported a ship ment of wolfs and let em loose in his feild of sheep. I somehow doubt any famer would be getting any compensation if he did that, while with the computer hes pretty much just gone and done that.

I wish you could compensate for viruses and crap. I'd be rich from my laptop.

People who use helping-ict.com should get compensation for being exposed to dangerous morons.
