Meh, you shouldn't feel stupid for not understanding them, the people who said them to begin with should, on the other hand.

The unfortunate thing is that most threads in the Tech Support section have at least one post that would make this list, if not more...

I didn't like this. I thought I would have a good laugh, but instead, I am just disappointed. However, too many people try to seem important by giving advice, and as always, not all of them will be accurate. That being said, I think it is the duty of the person receiving the advice to actually do some research on their own, and to take into account that some people will just be ridiculous.

The beautiful thing is that most of this terrible advice is accompanied by horrible spelling and grammar. Really? REALLY? Is it so hard to type out the word "you" while you're claiming that CPU temps don't matter?
What if I'm in it for fighting?

Meh, if it's halfway readable, I don't usually care. Although you might notice a certain pattern in a few of the winning posts of excessive exclamation points, that make it feel like the neurotic squirrel from Over the Hedge is talking about memory clocks? Drives me insane for some reason.

Just do what any self-respecting self-nominator for this thread would do. Use Google to find out what's wrong with a specific one, mock the person for not knowing better, and then every time someone makes a thread in Tech Support, relate it to that one thing.

Meh, classic trolls don't qualify. Only people who actually think they're being productive.

I saw this on another forum wasn't TL. A user was complaining about his computer being slow and a very special forum goer said something along the lines of


You have the system32 virus. Fixing it is very easy, just search your computer for every file with the word system32 in it and delete it.

I actually learnt a lot from reading these stuff...

btw, what's your opinion about this post? It's a solution to viruses using Hijackthis and Combofix.

Thanks.

Agreed. And to top it off the only infection warnings my AV ever gave me was when Avast pushed a fucked up update that considered any mention of gzip types as an infection attempt. They corrected it really really fast though. I can only imagine what was going on at their company for that time :D should have been worthy of a comedy.

Well, until my wife bought the most recent version of Norton on sale a couple of months ago, I used a combination of Spybot and common sense.

I've never had worse than semi-benign tracking cookies actually make it onto my PC. In other words, if they aren't directly malicious chunks of software being billed as anti-viruses or whatever else, I'm a terrible judge of whether they're a bad solution.

Ah.. I've never had any problems for almost 10 years. Though I think my common sense isn't too bad, I'm worried because I don't exactly just surf.

Good stuff there. The guy suggesting that you clean thermal paste off of your CPU with a damp cloth..............I almost shivered right there. If I caught someone doing that i think I'd probably kill them right on the spot.

And the downloading RAM guy is clearly trolling. I know I've made the same kind of post on several tech websites for the lulz. Its funny, you get all the wannabe smartasses posting entire stories telling how farking stupid you are. :-D
