"I liked the approach, the content, and the presentation so well, I had to rate this a 10. You Know You're in Trouble When... Your family and friends know everything you're doing on your computer! Someone is impersonating you during an instant messaging session. Sudden dropouts and lag occur during online game play. Your computer crashes unexpectedly and for no apparent reason. Mysterious pop-up windows appear at strange times.
