Default Virus

Ok, guys, I just sent Bob D an email. I was on my computer for 2 hours this morning, after I was in here for about 15 minutes I picked up another virus (Dale, notice I said virus!!). I don't know if I'm giving the virus or getting it. I will run a complete scan on my computer and suggest you do the same.

Betty

Betty, I do hope you realize I am a nutcase , and I am just having fun with you. Nobody likes a Trojan, and yes, a virus can be deadly without proper treatment. Our comp is set to automatically scan the full system every Friday afternoon, and the updates whenever we shut down. I can have no trouble with any of that stuff for a long long time, then one of the kids uses this comp, and things start gettin messed up. I will run a scan tonight though.

one more thing........ Linda didnt slap me when I let her read that thread!!! Aint I lucky??? ale

Dale, If you would just take the time to put your name in as a signature, in user options, you wouldn't have to chance spelling your name wrong.

Betty, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks Betty-- I had wondered where I had gotten the virus from and then when I had NOT been anywhere but here and got anudder one-- Whew-- Sure do make me glad the comp repair man is a good friend of my son --lol-- being old and decrepid Does have its advantages..
PS the last repair only cost me $12. for a new ether card and what I sent to buy my shop stuff-- now if I get anudder virus does this mean we have all been having unsafe forplay in here??

Yes Dale, I know you are only kidding. I can take kidding and give as well!! Ok, I got hit with another virus when I signed on this morning and I was the only one here yesterday, just this site and my Avon site. I do hope Bob or Robb are checking this out since I am not the only getting the virus. I guess I'll have to talk to Linda, Dale.

Betty

Just read your signature "Ale"!!!!! ROFL

Bob: THANK YOU!! The virus I am getting is a Trojan (no comments, please, Dale and the rest have already made enough) Puper.DL; Trojan Generic; Downloader Generic. My antivirus picked one up while I was in here just a few minutes ago. I'm not saying it's coming from your site, but something is going on. And I can't blame my son as he hasn't been on here since Saturday!! I'll call you later about the picture uploading!!

Betty

Hi Betty,

I've scanned the whole board and found no trojans or viruses. Did you run a complete scan of your hard drive? If so, please provide any more details. Specifically, what file the virus/trojan was attached to. In addition, what were you doing on the message board when the antivirus picked up the trojan.... Posting a picture, viewing a page, searching, etc...
