Hey all -- miss me? I'm kidding of course; with the traffic in
this froup, I'm barely a blip on the screen. But just in case anyone was wondering "where'd that weird blond gal go?" -- on Wednesday morning, I picked up a trojan. My hard drive is currently munged and I need to format it, *sigh*. I'm currently working through Miguel's HD, which sucks. Anyway, I'll probably be back next week.

At this point we don't know if it was an actual trojan or physical damage or what. But there are a bunch of bad sectors on the drive so we trashed it. Miguel says that sometimes physical damage can mimic a virus or trojan -- I'm hoping that's the case so you and others aren't affected. Fortunately, I was able to back up my drive sans Windows onto our Raid system (two mirrored 140GB drives). Each of us (me, Miguel, and Buddy) had our own drives in seperate drawers, but Buddy had messed his up with one of the Linux front ends (I don't remember which one) and he's been sharing a drive with his dad. I took his old one, formatted it, reinstalled my OS, and retrieved my stuff from the back up. Voila! With a little tweaking, I was done by Saturday afternoon, much faster than I'd anticipated. And I had time to make some pork chops and dressing: Baked Pork Chops with Dressing 6 pork chops; loin, center rib 3/4 C. butter or margarine, melted 3/4 C. chicken or vegetable broth 270g dry stuffing mix (I like Mrs. Cubbison) 1/2 C. celery, chopped 1/2 C. onion, chopped Layer stuffing and chops in greased roasting pan. Cover & bake at 350º F for 45 minutes. Uncover & bake 15 minutes more or until top is golden brown and juice of pork is no long until thermometer reads 160º F. I make this when I'm counting calories -- I divide it into six servings and freeze five of them, then reheat in the oven so the dressing stays crunchy. Depending on the size of the chops, it comes to about 600 kcals per meal. Much tastier than those premade frozen entrees... -- "Little Malice" is Jani in WA ~ mom, Trollop, novice cook ~ |

AVG Free anti-virus is virus protection only - although I see they also have a separate, free, anti-spyware program. I'm a long time user of AdAware when I search for tracking cookies and other bad things (they have plugins for the worst of the worst). I picked up something yesterday that had firefox at a stand still. I ran my AVG, but found nothing. Today, it occured to me that maybe it wasn't a virus, so I ran AdAware and solved the problem immediately. -- See return address to reply by email |
