Trojan False Alert

Paul Hoyer - Wednesday, August 25, 2010

I just looked and it was July 2nd the last time that I blogged. Oh well my grandpa never blogged!!!

I just finished 3 hours of work on this computer to get rid of

8 threats

298 Infections

94 registry irregularities

But the one that was the most annoying was what they call a "Trojan False Alert". Whenever I logged onto my computer there would be a pop up that looks like my AVG security only is says "Security Tool" and it tells me that I have 47 virus and I need to click on "remove" if you do that it wants you to register for a service and give your credit Card information and all kinds of stuff. When you don't respond it keeps coming back. How I got rid of this was a long story, for another time. The point of this blog is this:

In our lives there are people and things that pop up in front of us and demand attention! Most often they are a "false alert". We get all worked up for no good reason. We worry about things we have no control over. We anticipate worse things than will ever happen. All of this, like with my computer, slows down our efficency and sidetracks us from our real purpose. Jesus Himself said not to worry about tomorrow, "sufficent unto the day is the evil thereof" translated into today's language that means that to worry about things that have not yet happened is a waste of time!

For a week I have learned to focus on the background on the computer and ignore the "False Alerts". When you do that for a dertain length of time they go away. In the relationship that we have with our Creator God He wants us to focus on Jesus and everything else will be revealed. In Him we touch the Father. Don't get excited by the false alerts in your life simply focus on the task at hand and follow Him.
