Virus protection Memes

Back in the day, people treated USB drives like biohazard material. You'd get a flash drive from a friend and immediately wrap it in a condom before plugging it in, because who knows what kind of digital STDs it picked up from their sketchy downloads folder. Honestly, not the worst security practice. Physical protection for physical media—there's a certain logic to it. At least they were thinking about protection, which is more than most users clicking "Yes" on every UAC prompt can say. The real question is whether they went with ribbed for her pleasure or extra thin for faster data transfer speeds.

Ah, the digital equivalent of homeopathy! This meme brilliantly parodies the misguided logic of "what doesn't kill your PC makes it stronger." The top panel shows a disinterested Pooh bear representing the boring, responsible approach of using antivirus software as intended. Meanwhile, fancy tuxedo Pooh in the bottom panel represents the galaxy-brain move of deliberately downloading viruses to "train" your computer's immune system—as if your Dell XPS is going to start developing antibodies after surviving a trojan. It's basically CrossFit for your CPU, except instead of gaining muscle, you're just losing all your banking credentials.
