I don’t normally blog comics, but when one has to do with attention I can’t help it. Alerting, pulling messages forward, use of multi-channel communication to escalate important messages, the futility of attention management with clueless people … it’s all here:

Bizarre …we now have malware so malicious that it actually runs an anti-virus program on your PC to kill other malware before taking over your computer? I guess that as long as the other malware on your PC is more malicious or you have multiple viruses this could be a net benefit?  If viruses all attack each other before they can hurt us this could be like a movie where the victim sneaks out while two sets of bad guys fight over who gets to kill him.
