Looked lovely last night,
but I got home from work before it all started. Didn't seem so
nice this morning, when I had an inch of frozen snow on my car
and the traffic was heaving! lol

Morning everyone. I can't
believe the effect of an inch of snow! I grew up in Scotland
and learnt to drive in Lancashire so I'm pretty used to the
stuff but my employers were stranded in London last night by
one tiny inch! Oh well, I should get back to the ironing!

I just realised I signed
the last message with the wrong name!! I'm not a total nutter
I promise but my friends call me Hermione and my real name is
Lorna. Thinking of work made me sign the wrong one! Sorry!!!

It seems some people are
worried about the E-book containing a virus?
If you
are running an up-to-date virus checker then it shouldn't be a
problem as long as you also use common sense. It amazes me
but _everyone_ with an internet connection should be using the
above as a standard code of practice! Those with broadband
or ADSL should also use a firewall, be it hardware or software
based.
When you see the amount of infected machines
that I do each day you will understand the reasoning behind
this! They not only mess up individual's PCs but also cause
serious unwanted network traffic.
Anyone reading this
that hasn't any antivirus software installed, please go now
and either buy or download one of the various flavours
available. If you're on a faster connection please do the
same and while your there get yourself a decent firewall too.
Apologies for the rant but it was enough to make me
crawl out of my hole and post.  | |

Its all well and good if the virus is
one that is known about - if its a new one and the e-book is
the initial infection point then we would all be sunk.
Of course I don't beleive that the admins would be
silly enough to do something like that and I would hope that
they would double check anything that "michael" sends them -
but some people may well be worried.
Also the obvious
rapid spread of MyDoom.A and .B/.A2 shows that the majority of
internet users DONT have virus checkers (or dont keep them
upto date).

Hermione, that's exactly
how I feel. Went downstairs for a fag, and said, a tiny bit of
snow and this county is thrown in to chaos. Snotty cow said,
"It's not JUST Oxfordshire*
*raises handbag*
oooooOooooH!!!!!
I come from West Cumbria originally, it's
mad, isn't it?

I used to this when I was a
teenager but sadly I don't remember binaries or hex now, it's
been a while since I've looked into that. Should alto?(sp,I
not awake yet) look into them
again. _________________ Errrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... | |

Flypsy,
Sorry,
didnt see your post before.
Electrical faults occuring
round the house is supposed to be a common event when people
are developing
Maybe we all have been plinging our minds to
death with thoughts of Michael and it has started us off
developing psychic powers???? Who knows!!!?
Love,
Em xxx | |

Hi there Thanks Emma for
your message maybe I am developing into the next Uri Geller
who knows? hehe but yeah pretty freaky. This morning a
computer that hasn't been switched on for a long time decided
to switch itself on. hummm I really don't feel any spirits in
here though.
About the virus stuff, I have been using
a computer for about 10 years and I can honestly say I have
never had a virus, I don't know much about virus's but I
reckon as long as you are carful with what you download from
the net and from emails you'll be ok. I have never had a virus
scanner (had one years ago but it caused more probs than what
it was worth) or a firewall. I use an internet based email
with a virus scan for downloads so maybe this helps avoid
virus via emails. As I say maybe I have just been very lucky?
But I reckon if you are sensible with what you download then
you'll be ok.
Anyway what I would say if I had any
valuable or very private stuff on here I would def put a
firewall or something up, but I reckon if anyone hacked in on
me they would have a very boring time heh.

Morning All! Managed to
make it to our desks this morning through the Blizzards.
It's COLD up north, but at least the snow has stopped.
I presum that was GHOST coming back to me with a
reply...thanks for being prompt! You are right - We have
no way of knowing if other spirits ARE communicating with us
in this fashion. I fully accept that there are others like
Micheal - let's face it, there could be THOUSANDS of sprits in
the same boat, communicatng in this way. I have already pored
over the WORLDITC website, and do not dismiss any of it on
face value - there could be something in it... My point
was, if it is relatively simple to do from a spirits' point of
view, by the law of averages, there should be more than one
case of this. Micheal has managed to cross a barrier, but why
can't any other spirits do the same?I am aware of the BBC
tale, and a couple of other minor incidents, but that's about
it. I'm not trying to disprove anything - just saying
there must be more to this. What is stopping us currently
emailing our dear departed?! _________________ I'm
playing all the RIGHT notes....but NOT necessarily in the
right order. | |

Liss - the problem is not what you are
storing on your computer but what people out there want to do
with it. The MSBlaster "virus" did not need a user on a
computer to do anything - if you had Windows NT through to XP
with no firewall then you were vunerable to infection and it
took a while for the patch to make it out there... in fact
Microsoft actually made their update service do a silent clean
up of machines recently and found over 1 million PCs out there
that were still infected.
Today I have recieved about
8 emails which had been infected with MyDoom (but got
"cleaned" before they arrived) and have had about 6
notifications that I have "Sent" infected emails (which is a
side effect of other peoples computers being infected and
using my email as the sender address).
To put a
computer - be it an Intel box running Windows or Linux, or an
Apple mac - on the internet without taking precautions is
asking for trouble.

I had the msblaster virus
when I didn't have firewall enabled.
I was tearing my
hair out wondering what do and I learned about enabling
firwalls. I did that to my machine.
I regularly use
AVG Antivirus Free and keep it updated whenever possible and
do a scan of my machine 1-2 times a week.
I think the
best Anti Virus Killers out there are AVG and
Panda. _________________ Errrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... | |
