Ask HN: Has anyone ever heard of Total Shield EMF Protection

I have a user that keeps this pipe bomb looking device next to her desk. I am a little worried that this device might damage her computer. Any thoughts?

Whadda fuq, stay away from such esoteric cr*p...

Haha. I received a call from her about her computer running really slow. I walked in and noticed that device sitting on her desk next to her PC tower... Do you think it is messing with her machine?

Haha nope, I rather think that she clicks yes on every crapware installer and her PC is infested with spyware, toolbars, "cleaners" etc.

Just like 90% of private computers and organization computers without a decent IT staff.
