Well, I ran the malware program and I'm now using Firefox. Crossing my fingers!

As a test,( when you go to work ) try unplugging your pc from the modem. Or shut the modem off. It would be impossible for the same thing to happen from your pc.

OK, I caught my PC in the act! It wasn't attempting to get into the Cellar, but instead it was attempting repeatedly to log into another, quite large forum. I guess they're big enough that such things don't bother them? :confused:

Sky, it's too hard to get at my plugs and modem - they're behind my desk and bookshelf.

What I will do is shut down my computer. It still seems to me that there should be a command to tell my computer to not attempt multiple log-ins.

This is a recent thing and if it's a virus, neither malbytes nor AVG caught it. But I can only use the free versions - too poor to buy the complete program. :(

Try Spybot SEarch & Destroy as well!

What was it doing Sam? Was the screen refreshing or something?

Even though I was already logged into "Samsforum.com," small print was flashing in the lower left hand corner of my screen. It read:

"sending request to Samsforum.com"

followed by:

"waiting for Sansforum.com"

These messages cycled very rapidly. The last thing I had done there was reply to a post (my response did appear on the thread). :confused::confused::confused:

Yup, that's surely the same thing going on. Weird.

Can she search for the auto runs in task manager or the firewall? Or block that auto run in the firewall?


...something like that. It sounds more nefarious than that but ...it's worth a try.

I think it is the vast right wing conspiracy preventing her from sharing the secret to fix the country.

Well, you would know, Lookout! ;)

I know the real way to fix the country but I can't tell you. You probably wouldn't agree with killing all the poor people and enslaving the brown ones anyway.

I knew it!



Bet you were the top hat in Monopoly.

I always wanted to be the hat. But I ended up with the dog more often than not, and I hate dogs. Not sure how that came to be. I'm always the hat now, though :D

What the hell is that? :lol2:

I liked the iron. I hate ironing. I'm anti-domestic. When I was young I would iron a shirt and my mom would take one look and say "give me that! Looks like you ironed it with a rock!"

But there was no rock piece, so I liked the iron.
