VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Would you rather have a computer virus or a colonoscopy?
A survey out this morning is looking at how much we rely on our computers.
The poll reveals people would rather visit their doctor and get a colonoscopy than have to deal with a computer virus or any other internet-transmitted woes. People would also prefer to change a dirty diaper, sit in traffic or even go to the dentist.
U.S. computer security firm, PC Tools, released the survey, which also shows about 50 per cent of Americans would be embarrassed if friends or relatives saw certain files on their computers or smartphones.
