  1. hey shadow take care of your self.i belong to the heart and diabetes assoc

    and all you have to see is some of the videos of the lungs and pancreas that smoking does to these body parts to see how bad it is for your body.

    like some of the other posters i havent smoked for thirty years.

    and i know what it is like to try and stop.dam hell.for me personaly it found it was mind over matter and force of habit.for instance after ide stopped smoking for several years .

    after a meal or when i got bored my hand used to go to my back pocket looking for the cigs .

    now i hate being around people who smoke .

    luckly in my country from the 15 of december all smoking in public areas.inclosed areas ,which means cafes pubs hotels .restraunt all in closed areas

    the only place exempt is your private chatels .will be banned.

    of course.the smoking lobby.is laying down and kicking there heels up in the air.

    but it has to be done.

    this b------it

    of individual rights is in fringing, on the millions of people who dont smoke .

    i feel guilty in posting this because i was one of those and at the time i didnt give a

    s---t on what other people said.

    so smoking has turned a complete cycle.

    i sympathise with you but if it affects your health please think about it at least

    we dont want to lose you from this board.

    i just dont want to see you die because of smoking.

    you take care shadow

    and good luck

    2. Arafat Worm – WORM_GOLTEN.A (Low Risk)

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    WORM_GOLTEN.A is a memory-resident network worm. It has no

    mass-mailing capabilities, but may have been mass-mailed to specific email addresses

    instead. The email message contains two .EMF file attachments: one shows

    the burial of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and the other contains code

    that exploits a Microsoft XP vulnerability. The worm propagates via

    network shares and attempts to connect to network shared folders. It uses a

    list of user names and passwords to gain access to a machines, to establish

    a network connection and execute a copy of itself in the accessed network

    share. This worm runs on Windows 2000 and XP, and is currently spreading

    in-the-wild.

    Upon execution, this worm drops the following files in the Windows system

    folder:

    ALERTER.EXE - main component and installer

    COMWSOCK.DLL

    DMSOCK.DLL

    IETCOM.DLL

    SPTRES.DLL

    SCARDSER.EXE - installs .DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files that inject

    this worm into LSASS.EXE and IEXPLORE.EXE

    It also adds a registry entry that allows it to automatically execute at

    every system startup, and installs the following .DLL files:

    COMWSCOK.DLL

    DMSOCK.DLL

    IETCOM.DLL

    SPTRES.DLL

    These .DLL files inject this worm into the following processes:

    LSASS.EXE

    EXPLORER.EXE

    The .DLL files download other components from a remote location, and are

    responsible for the propagation of this worm.

    The worm also adds a registry entry that initiates the download of a

    remote file, which is saved as DMSTI.EXE.

    WORM_GOLTEN.A propagates through network shares and attempts to connect

    and execute a copy of itself in the following default network folders:

    ADMIN$

    IPC$

    It also installs a service named NETLOG.

    This worm uses the following user names and passwords to gain access to

    machines connected on the same network:

    !@#$

    !@#$%

    !@#$%

    ~!@#

    000000

    00000000

    passwd

    password

    root

    secret

    security

    stgzs

    super

    The worm may have been mass-mailed to specific email addresses. The

    email arrives with the following:

    Subject: Latest News about Arafat!!!

    Message body:

    Hello guys!

    Latest news about Arafat!

    Unimaginable!!!!!

    The email also contains two .EMF file attachments: ARAFAT_1.EMF is a

    .JPG file showing the burial of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, and

    ARAFAT_2.EMF contains exploit code that uses the Microsoft Windows XP

    Metafile Heap Overflow vulnerability. When opened, the file drops this worm

    into a system. For more information on this vulnerability please visit:

  3. hey team this is how you get naked for your birthday.

    i got this frominternet news.dont ever get caught like this

    marty

    Two weeks ago was my 45th birthday, but I wasn't

    feeling too hot that morning anyway. I went to

    breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and

    say "Happy Birthday" and probably have a present

    for me.

    But, she didn't even say "Good Morning," let

    alone any "Happy Birthday."

    I thought, well...that's a wife for you. I

    guess, the children will remember. Then, the

    children came into breakfast, but, they didn't

    say a word.

    When I started to the office, I was feeling

    pretty low and despondent. As I walked into my

    office, my secretary Janet said, "Good morning,

    Boss, happy birthday." And I felt a little better,

    someone had remembered.

    I worked until noon. Then, Janet knocked on

    my door and said, "You know, it's such a beautiful

    day outside, and it's your birthday, let's go

    to lunch, just you and me."

    I said, "That's the greatest thing I've heard

    all day. Let's go."

    So, we went to lunch. We didn't go where we

    normally go. We went out into the country to

    a little private place. We had two martinis and

    enjoyed lunch tremendously.

    On the way back to the office, Janet said,

    "You know, it's such a beautiful day. We don't

    need to go back to the office, do we?"

    I said, "No, I guess not."

    She said, "Let's go to my apartment."

    After arriving at her apartment, she said,

    "Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'll go into

    the bedroom, and slip into something more comfortable."

    "Sure," I excitedly replied.

    Janet went into the bedroom and, in about six

    minutes, she came out carrying a big birthday

    cake, followed by my wife, children and dozens

    of my friends. All were singing "Happy Birthday"

    .. and there I sat on the couch ... naked.

  4. Hey Marty...

    Thanks for the tips.Awhile back i did some upgrading.New HD, MB,RAM ect...Went from W98 to ME to XP home in like oh... 9 months..About the time i got XP, Norton had that tasty rebate goin on so i grabbed 2004...i'm not disappointed with it .i've used AVG in the past...maybe wrong here..Think it had something to do with Aladdin security?Hm..i maybe mixing up Free anti virus..Anyway LOVED it...i see the new FREE version of AVG is out.When Norton is spent...i'll be knockin at AVG's door.i keep hearing good things about Avast too.

          i'd check out "internet news" but i saw your disclaimer...i'm not the one to push my luck..Money is funny this time of year...With my luck i'd get the kind of 'puter cooties that keep on givin'...

            On the cell phone thing...i see in the future... Voice activated phones for the cars.Mounted on the steering wheel for easy access.. A nation of drivers that look like they sing in the car or have not had their dose of medication.

    hey echo

    if you want to access the posts in the news section all you have to do is right click the post and your scanner is enabled to scan that post.when i got the warning .i was a bit of a novice .what had happened some one one the board had asked about unchecking the attachements in OE so they could read their email.

    so i went in and tried it before i posted and forgot to recheck the attache box.that is why avast started screeming. at me.

    i now have avg and avast but i have avast disabled for incomming mail.

    so now i can scan with 2av's

    havent done it before so it is something ive learned 2 scanners on the one sys

    i heard it cant be done but you have to juggle them a bit.

    marty

    when i was younger i used to play guitar for a pop group and elektric base for a jazz group

    iin my country jazz is very popular

    jazz and country. being predominantly country people .country music is very popular.tho i didnt play much in country groups my self.

    my son who is now a professional muso is on his way to boston with a group

    to play in some festival.

    and will be there for 3 months

    any one on the board from boston will know what it is i think it is called pre xmas festival.

    wished i was young enough to make the trip but i dont think im a good enough muso for that.

    marty

                                                marty

    Woman Drivers

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Women Drivers

    This morning on the Interstate,

    I looked over to my left and there was a woman

    in a brand new Cadillac

    doing 65 mph

    with her face up next to her

    rear view mirror

    putting on her eyeliner.

    I looked away

    for a couple seconds

    and when I looked back she was

    halfway over in my lane,

    still working on that makeup.

    As a man, I don't scare easily.

    But she scared me so much;

    I dropped my electric shaver,

    which knocked the donut

    out of my other hand.

    In all the confusion of trying

    to straighten out the car

    using my knees against the steering wheel,

    it knocked my cell phone

    away from my ear

    which fell

    into the coffee

    between my legs,

    splashed, and burned

    Big Jim and the Twins,

    ruined the damn phone,

    soaked my trousers,

    and disconnected an

    important call.

    Damn women drivers!!

    I knew this looked like something I read over at worldstart in there off topic board. Mountain man has the same thread over their. It is a funny read though. :ohttp://forum.worldstart.com/showthread.php?t=50813

    i got this from the internet news joke section.so who ever posted may got it from there.

    while im on the subject of internet news

    when i joined internet news which is a service from your isp.

    when i downloaded the subjects there were. 67.000 of them

    and covered things like- jokes- compts -sex- moter subjects

    you name it theve got it .

    i first got it because being a past muscian i wanted to research music.

    but there were.

    10.000 categorys.

    which left my head in a boggle

    so i went for the joke section.

    so if any one is interested contact your isp and see if they support a

    internet news section

    there was an interesting section before the usa elections .

    on the 2 candidates .bush and kerry .

    if you want to you. can post your comments in as well.

    one word of warning.virus writers lurk in there .

    so make sure your scanners are operatinal.

    an example one post said do you want to see anna kornikove with just her earings on

    well i did and my avast siren started blasting .

    and a message on my tool bar warned me of a danger.so ive learned my lesson .

    i wanted to see the earings

    marty

  10. Or you could wait untill she is infected the do the "I told you so thing"

    M

    ha ha mike x

    i thought of that but she is a very good friends apart from the difference s with compts

    but my advantage is i can show her the comments from this board .

    tho i think i can talk her into joining.

    when she first got a compt .

    she signed as a member at znet.

    but it was a bit over her head .

    quite often i show her the posts from you guys on different.different problems we have

    and she is impressed.

    i showed her how to use the command promt for certain things

    and she was amazed.

    so may be we should aim our,Q AND A

    to these sort of people .

    it sure is a fascinating subject.

    thanks every one for your input

    marty

  11. Yes, then there's the occasional thread in which some kid decides to try and impress everyone else by using terminology that goes over most peoples head, but manage to bastardize what they are trying to say anyway... Usually about computer architecture, basic electronics, `hacking' (script kiddie style), or cluster computing in which a certain poster copied half of a paper by a research scientist at U of T.

    I only stuck around because of some of the other old TSS board regulars.

    -uberpenguin

    hi uberpenguin

    hi uberpenguin

    just noticed your post i may be a bit late with this welcome but better late then never.

    any how welcome .and its good to see you here , your expertise will be welcome.

    take care

    marty

  12. yes you are right .

    spoke to a friend and he said .you have give your address to get an online scan

    but i cant remember doing that.ive emailed panda asking how they got my email.

    it may be that some one else has done it.

    ive always used trend micro house call.and they email for alerts.

    i didnt know panda gave free scans.i always thought you had to pay.

    that is why i didnt use it.i like free ware .

    now it does as good as payed ones.

    have you access the security site for microsoft.they recommend payed ones but also avg .avast.panda.

    so micro soft respects free ones as well.

    marty

  13. hi TK hope you dont mind me jumping in here .

    i have a problem with word pad.3 times i have reinstalled xp.

    and wordpad hasent appeared in any of the documents.and to get it on the sys ive had to.type it in the search box and then send it to my desk top.

    does this mean it isnt a default appli.and needs to accessed, or is there something wrong with my wordpad.application.can you understand what im typing here.

    my damned eyesight is gettin worse.

    my specticles are only a year old.

            marty

    I Googled for XP + Wordpad and came up with this message board thread.

    Maybe it will help you.

    I have Windows 2000, and it was Notepad that gave me trouble for awhile. Finally did a search for it and found it. Wierd, how things just disappear.

    Fixing Wordpad

    Go back to the Dr to tell him about worsening eye trouble. You know with Diabetes that is one thing to closely watch. Heart, eyes, and feet are all things to especially take care of with Diabetes.

    I should talk, I need to go in and get glasses with eyes worsening it seems by the month. And I don't even have Diabetes, though Dad did.

    I just read about using a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon a day to help regulate blood sugar, lower bad cholestrol and tryglycerates (sp?). I also take chromium twice a day which seems to help my low blood sugar problems. All Dr tests show I am ok so far. I do need to loose weight though.

    God bless everyone.

    hey thesidekickcat thank you for the word pad thing

    havent accessed it yet but i will later.when i type it into the start search.

    it brings it up but i cant it to addess.when i send it to my desk top and opens it i get the message with an error page.

    but ile try again later

    marty

  14. i have my eyes checked every 6 months.and i got these glasses becuase i was having trouble seeing to the right and left of my eyes.

    but they were checked.in august and i had a cataract in my left eye.

    but not bad enough to warrant an operation.

    tho my doc keeps an on my progress.

    you mentioned some one in your near family had diabetes well

    keep your self checked as it can be passed on from familys .

    i agree wieght can be a dis advantage

    i go to exercise classes 2 days a week.

    but diet can controll that.

    marty

  15. ok thanks team

    i have avast .which i use as my regular scanner and a web based scanner house call, which i have a house call button on my tool bar

    but house call is only operational until you scan from the website.so there is no conflict.

    the reason i asked about avg and avast

    is a friend has the 2 sys and i quoted what i had read from these boards.

    about not using 2 av;s on the one sys.

    but she said you will have to convince me .

    so i can show her these posts.

    so thanks team forever helpful.

    marty

  16. good one tic toc

  18. hey il_wiccan

    my isp uses Kaspersky and fprot havent heard about the fprot .

    but they must work as isp's wouldnt use them.

    thanks for that.i was over at WORLD START and one of their regulars.said he uses avg and avast on the one sys

    and i wondered if there was any conflict.

    like people recomend using spybot and Adaware .but i know they interprit the certain files from their sys as spy ware

    so to me what is the difference.both have a conflict with each with certain files

  19. does any one on the board use both avg and avast on the same sys and if so is there any conflict.between the two.iread where you can use both together.

    but my Q. how you stop the conflict if any.

    im curious .is why i ask.

    i just read a post on WS. a poster said i use both.but didnt give any detail

    i was led to believe two av scanners on the one sys werent compatable.

  20. i think any licensed driver should be armed with a paintball gun...It should be our right to shoot any car driven by any moron talking a cell phone while driving or driving down the road with their right blinker on or eating while driving or driving while watching TV...

    See then if you come upon a car that's really coverd with paint you know there is moron behind the wheel and know to get out of the way

    Hmmm maybe a little to Scarlet Letterish eh?

    :blink:

    yes i agree

    it is very bad in my country.i think the trasnport department is trying to get legislation to counter it .i dont own a cell phone so it dosent apply to me .

    the goverments of the world are catering for the cell phone companys.

    billions in revenue is the reason .

    i read an article wher a cell phone rep said from vodo phone

    people should have the freedom to make up their own monds

    so they dont like the idea of haveing their revenue curtailed

    this is more so in a country like america .

    where companies are screeming out.it is stopping my freedom.

  21. hey you two spoke broken engresh.

    im fasinated with language.but living where i do there isnt many opertunitys

    sultan seems to be a multi linguist.

    i speak 3 languages.and the one i have problems with is my own native tongue.

    which is polinesian.

    Woman Drivers

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Women Drivers

    This morning on the Interstate,

    I looked over to my left and there was a woman

    in a brand new Cadillac

    doing 65 mph

    with her face up next to her

    rear view mirror

    putting on her eyeliner.

    I looked away

    for a couple seconds

    and when I looked back she was

    halfway over in my lane,

    still working on that makeup.

    As a man, I don't scare easily.

    But she scared me so much;

    I dropped my electric shaver,

    which knocked the donut

    out of my other hand.

    In all the confusion of trying

    to straighten out the car

    using my knees against the steering wheel,

    it knocked my cell phone

    away from my ear

    which fell

    into the coffee

    between my legs,

    splashed, and burned

    Big Jim and the Twins,

    ruined the damn phone,

    soaked my trousers,

    and disconnected an

    important call.

    Damn women drivers!!
