What is Linkitis you ask?
Linkitis also known as Hyperlinkosis is a disease that affects people who have little to no computer knowledge.
Linkitis is an affliction that causes the victim to lose all reasoning, compelling them to click on any hyperlink that comes their way, via email, website, popup window etc. The affliction also compels the person to visit websites known to harbor and transmit malware and virus on a hyper regular basis.
At the moment there is no known cure for this affliction. The only way to mitigate and damage caused by the disease is to...
A) Strictly monitor the affected person's online activities.
B) Install protocols on the infected person's computer that prevents them from accessing such online venues like conspiracy theory sites, porn sites, religious sites and any known domains that are know to propagate malicious code.
C) Install (with the patient's permission) monitoring software on all of their electronic devices.
D) Make sure that the patient attends classes on proper PC usage.
E) Try to teach the patient what it means to be internet savvy and how they can become internet savvy.
In the event that you have to implements steps B and C, hope and pray that the infected person is not an Idiot Savant and can easily get around established protocols. If the patient is an Idiot Savant, just reinforce the other steps.
And yes, the afliction is real, my roommate suffers from Linkitis and is in denial and refuses to do anything to cure his affliction.
