Nice vibes and thoughts and here's a tip... run A/V software and also a
firewall (I use Macafee) and Ad-Aware (freeware) and also Spyware Doctor
(minimul fee). Run scans on a regular basis. Keep up with what is going on
with your PC. I'm rather lax about backups but my 2006 resolution is to get
back on track with those.

Yep! We run our computers from an old one used as a server and I also
run Ad-aware and Spyware Doctor

A good free A/V is Avast, I used to use AVG, but have found Avast even
better.

I think Spybot Search and Destroy is just as good and it's free.

That's awful! I'm so sorry. Carol didn't need anything else added to her
plate to deal with.

Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery.

A message to Damsel & Crash... don't run a PC as a server unless you have
something commercially licencend to be accessed. By this I mean people
paying to access the server for a legitimately licenced product.

Don't give away movies, music, etc. You can be prosecuted for such
activities. A guy in Memphis a couple of months ago was hit with a lawsuit
for using his PC as a server to allow people to d/l music freebies to the
tune of several million dollars. It's not worth it.

Test message (crossing fingers).

No server here. I have no clue as to how to set something like that
up, and I don't have anything that anyone would want, anyway. I'm
curious as to how this relates to my computer being hacked.

You said "hacker". None of those will stop a hacker - you need a
firewall for that.

I'd like to know how it was hacked with a decent firewall up!

Hey welcome back The point of the server is that a hacker can't get
through it to your computer.

I get spam galore......

and 419 scams by the dozen whenever I post my real e-mail for contact
purposes. :-(

The 419 scam letters are on the upswing, and have gradually evolved too
into more and more clever schemes.

Now I'm getting people from China looking for "agents" to collect owed
funds. I've not followed up on those. It almost sounds like money
laundering!

Ditto!

I have McAfee virus and firewall. AOL has a great spam blocker and
spyware protection. But no matter hoiw many safeguards one throws up
it's all for naught if you're the type who for whatever idiotic reason
is so weak minded that you can't resist opening email attachments... I
don't care who sends me email with an attached Program, I say thanks
for taking the trouble but no thank you... and I NEVER open attached
Programs.

There's a newsgroup that helps people with computer probs. You could try
that, some are extremely rude though, or there's lots of help on the web, if
you do a google search. The newsgroup is 24hoursupport.helpdesk.

I've had my real email on Usenet since I've been on Usenet. No
problems yet here, either.

I'd like to apologize to those who have e-mailed me recently, for not
getting back to you. With the South Beach diet, my blood sugars (which
were astronomical) are dropping almost to normal levels. The change in
sugar levels (up or down) messes with a person's eyes. I can barely
see to write this.

Don't fret none. This'll pass, as it did when I was first diagnosed.
It's more of an inconvenience than anything. I just didn't want anyone
to think I am ignoring them. I just can't see them. LOL!

If it's not one thing, it's another. <G>

See ya later! Bad pun, I know.

Carol
