Malware & popups

April 4, 2020 | San Francisco | 20-29 years

I dreamed my laptop was overtaken with classic early-2000s-style malware and popups from one errant click trying to watch a movie. I dreamed the entire process (probably not technically correct) of rooting out the malware and removing it from my computer, dragging each item to the wastebasket individually, while more and more popups and browser tabs with cartoonish porn and ads kept appearing. When I finally got everything off my computer, I woke as soon as I hit the "empty trash" button.
