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

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:

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.

Bummer you coudn't check out anna kornikoves pair...nyuk nyuk nyuk...
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.
You're a musician?What instrument do you play?

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

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.
http://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
-
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

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.

hi uberpenguin

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.

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.
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

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
-
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

good one tic toc
ive done it 4 times
you will never regret it they are wonderful
little bundles
while we are posting here keep us in touch whith the progress the wonderful event
again congrats
marty
i see chappy posted .before me
i remember when he had his first grand child we were all so excited.then we didnt hear from him for some time probably spoiling the we thing.
and i dont blame him
my god it is still exciting to hear of some one bringing anew life into the world
so again CONGRATULATIONS
LM

hi team i just recieved this in my email i dont know how they got my address ive never used it before.
any info would be welcome.
is the av free or do you have to pay later
marty
ive scanned for nasties and it seems to be clean.i though it may have been a hoax
seeing ive never given them my address
thanks team

hey il_wiccan
my isp uses Kaspersky and fprot havent heard about the fprot .
but they must work as isp's wouldnt use them.
nerelda
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
marty
-
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.

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?
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.
