The problem is between the chair and the keyboard

"99.9% of errors are between the chair and the keyboard" this is a very old phrase and one that I find myself using more and more. It is a nice way of saying "you already screwed up"

The problem is between the chair and the keyboard

The reality is that computers only perform functions and if there is an error, it is most likely of human origin... that is, the user!

Due to lack of knowledge, or mere distraction, most, "if not all" errors are always the user's fault. This is harsh, but it's the truth, because a computer only becomes infected if we click on a link, or open a file, or run a program, only then do the problems begin.

For a computer to be infected, a previously infected program must be executed. This can occur in several ways, such as: opening files attached to emails; open Word, Excel, etc. files; open files stored on other computers, through public or private sharing; install programs of dubious or unknown origin, place pen drives of unknown origin on your PC; among many other ways

New forms of infection are always emerging. Therefore, it is important to stay informed, have a defensive posture and always be suspicious, until proven otherwise.
