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.
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).

YEA! We just kept closing popups till we got the right one!!!
And then your friend sends you a link to the “You Are An Idiot” gag site so you just have to reboot.
Forgot to turn the volume down, instant regret as the speakers on the family computer scream ”HI EVERYBODY I’M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO”

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.
