[Clearwood Elementary computer class Internet blog entitled “How to Protect Your Computer”, edited by a Miss Meredith Yates]
BLOG ENTRY: March 7, 2013
Hello, students. As we know, each week we’re going to be covering a new topic concerning how to properly secure your computer. Going by this month’s theme of Internet trolls, we’re going to start off with one of the classic tricks that people use to take advantage of new computer users, such as yourselves. One of the first things they will attempt to persuade you to do is to delete the system32 file on your computer. They may claim that it helps speed up your processor, or clears up unnecessary files, or even prevents viri from invading the programming. I’m here to tell you that this is not true at all, and that if you delete this file, it will not be beneficial in any way, and will in fact harm your computer irreversibly. The Windows operating system relies on this file to run, and when it is deleted, the computer will not load its processing system, and no files will be accessible. This can only be remedied by reinstalling the file manually, which is an extremely complicated and expensive process that I’m sure none of you want to endure. To show you what I mean, I’ve featured an example here- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3YaU9_DP9E. As you can see, once the file is removed, the operating system will fail upon restart. To further demonstrate how dangerous these so-called trolls can be, I’ve prepared an old computer to test this with tomorrow in class. Remember to complete the worksheet on computer parts to hand in tomorrow in class!

Lray18- jeez why do they make us do this stupidass class
Pfarley24- ikr we already know how to use a freakin computer louis and i play cod every night
Ughia02- Come on, guys! They’re only looking out for us. We can’t expect them to know every little thing about our interests. The best they can do is provide insurance.
Lray18- srsly ursula who even has the time to type full sentences this is an internet chat room
Merskine66- clearly its just her shes got a whole room devoted to typing in a chat room i bet
Ughia02- Okay, come on, guys, we all know that’s not realistic. It’s a habit, and I know not everyone does it, but what harm is it cuasing in the long run?
Ifrederickson04- a typo guys shes human!!1!

I hope today’s demonstration was informative. Internet trolls will only mislead and damage your computer. As you’ve seen today, the worst case scenario is the corruption of your computer’s hard drive, which means your parents may have to spend thousands of dollars getting a replacement. Unfortunately, since the demonstration took so long, I was unable to check last night’s homework, but know that I have not forgotten and will be collecting it tomorrow.

Ughia02- While it may not affect you or me personally, it may be offensive to other classmates.
Merskine66- playing cod probz
Ifrederickson04- listen little miss perfect, its not ur job to go around telling us waht and what not 2 say
Jzaphoro20- yea just cos ur rich doesnt mean ur th boss of us
Myates [OP]- Now, stop this. This chat room is no place for this verbal abuse. All of you stop this at once or you will be reported to the school technician, who will write up all those involved for violation of computer conduct. If you must continue this discussion, which I highly advise against, use a private chat room. I hope I’ve made myself clear.

Lray18- its dated march 7-11
Merskine66- but mr barry was our teacher..
Lray18- ye ik he taught us since february must be some sort of coincidence where mr barry got a domain shared w/ another teacher who has students with our names
Ughia02- The odds seem too low for that. I’ll ask tomorrow whether we’ve had a Yates.

Nice work on the projects, guys! No homework tonight.
COMMENTS:
Ughia02- Guys, I looked up the school teacher database, and there is not, nor has there ever been a Yates working at Clearwood.
Merskine66- ok…? y do we need 2 know that
Ughia02- What? Oh, I… I don’t know, actually.
Jzaphoro20- that was random
Merskine66- wait guys scroll up
Ifrederickson04- wut
Merskine66- there was a kid in our chat room called louis ray
Jzaphoro20- nother hacker
Merskine66- y would someone hack a school blog
Ifrederickson04- idk probz some pedo looking for some sick thrills by scaring kids
Jzaphoro20- wait ursula u said there was someone named yates
Ughia02- Yes, for some reason I looked up whether someone with that name worked here…
Ughia02- Wait, is it because of another person from this blog?
Jzaphoro20- guys, look there are 3 people in this blog who weve never heard of: yates, peter farley, and louis ray
Jzaphoro20- this is really strange, cant be a coincidence
Ughia02- Yates’ last message and Peter Farley’s last message both consist of frantic typing, acting like they were in some sort of life-threatening situation.
Jzaphoro20- from what it says, i definetely knew peter and louis well
Merskine66- but if we interacted with them that means that they were real
Ifrederickson04- guys guys stop being pussies its just a pedo hacker messing with us
Ifrederickson04- he probbly just typed in messages using our own names to screw w/ us
Ifrederickson04- hold on
Ughia02- Ian’s probably right. We have no reason to believe those people were real, or whether the previous messages were really typed by us. We wouldn’t just forget that someone ever existed.
Ifrederickson04- guys
Jzaphoro20- yea i guess ur right
Merskine66- wanna play cod jerry?
Ifrederickson04- guys
