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!

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. icon_confused.gif

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!!!!! icon_rolleyes.gif

I come from West Cumbria originally, it's mad, isn't it?

Hence the part about common sense also.

Exactree, It isn't just those that cause problems, Welchia is still going very strong and I see plenty of new infections a day across our network.

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.

Flypsy,

Sorry, didnt see your post before.

Electrical faults occuring round the house is supposed to be a common event when people are developing icon_wink.gif icon_idea.gif

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,

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.

Liss

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?!

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.
