These places get destroyed awful fast by you rowdy people...
 QUOTE(minque) This is meant to be a place where you can talk about anything without having to stay on topic. Feel free to ask questions, to talk about the things in your life you like to share with your fellow-members. Or just step inside for a while, have a coffe and a good chat! You may feel free to post whatever you like as long as it is within the rules of the forum. But if the conversation degrades to spam, you will be treated as though you are spamming anywhere else on the forum. This is a thread where you can relax and talk about personal things, but it is not to be used as an excuse to make pointless posts. Please help to keep this alive and well and a place where we can meet and share. Enjoy your stay here!!! QUOTE(Alexander) We had intended the coffee shop to be a nice place where people could talk about their daily activities and such, kinda like the Lurkers Lair on the Official Forums. It didn't quite turn out that way though, people have been taking advantage of their freedoms in here, there has been a lot of spamming and even some flaming. We will not tolerate that any longer. So unfortunately we've had to decide to increase the rules for this thread. Of course the normal forum rules still apply, but we'll elaborate here.: 1. No spamming. We consider double posting and posting posts with only a few words to be spam. If you do that your post will be deleter or moved, do it too often and you might receive a warning for it. We also consider chit-chat spam. This forum has a special chat channel for chatting, you're welcome to go there, and chat with other members or with the staff as we're always there, doing it in here is not allowed. The address to that chatroom is: W4O chat And for assistence to use a chat like this, I recommend looking over this thread: http://chorrol.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=248 Or contacting one of the Administrators. 2. No discussion of accounts or warnings. There shall be no more discussion about members, about accounts, about how many warnings you've gotten or anything like that. 3. No trolling. No posting of random nonsense, no posting of irrelevant things, no posting the same thing over and over just to get it noticed, no swearing or flaming. 4. No religion or politics. No discussion about religion or politics is to be had in these threads. If you want to discuss religion or politics, please do make another thread, or if another such thread already exists, please post in it. If you have a question about the rules of the forums, feel free to ask it to either a Global Moderator or an Administrator. If you're unsure if something is fit to post here, it might be. Again best to ask a Global Moderator or Administrator. If you're wondering how we think a Lair or the Coffee Shop should look like, what we do allow, then I recommend taking a look at the Lurkers Lair at the Official Forums. --------------------  D�anaim smaoineamh, d� bhr� sin, t�im ann - Descartes Only the dead have seen the end of war ~ Plato Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist.

You've never had snow for winter? Texas is as south as you can get without being tropical, and we sometimes have snow for a couple of days

Yep, I've been off for a while. Still looking for an apartment in Lander, Wyoming--seasonal job through mid-September. Haven't been able to unload my PC from my car yet (I'm in the public library right now). But once I get a place I'm going to see about catching up with my writing obligations.

Catastrophe is here! My pc laptop got itself a very nasty trojan...or rather two trojans. Those beggars have very thoroughly prevented me from getting online, they also took the opportunity to damage my videocard or its drivers so I have a sweet turqouise line across my screen!
But thank all mighty gods for my Mac! Which is the device I'm using right now. I hope I can save my documents on the pc because that one is going to "hospital-for-computers" tomorrow! -------------------- Chomh fada agus a bhionn daoine ah creiduint in aif�iseach, leanfaidh said na n-aingniomhi a choireamh (Voltaire)

Canis- great to see you back! Good luck with the living-space search.
Minque- Once the PC is repaired, AVG is a good, free anti-virus program. We are considering a MacBook ourselves for when we travel to visit the grandsons.... It has been consistently over 90 F (32 C for our metric and European readers) here. July will probably be brutal. -------------------- The dreams down here aren't broken, nah, they're walkin' with a limp...

Minaque, I just went through the nasty experience myself:
Try these, and they are ALL free, and VERY effective. Malwarebyte's Anti Malware - Slow, but VERY VERY thorough, free updates Comodo Firewall Pro - free udpates, very powerful as well, will take some time to get used to as it is a third party firewall, and everytime you bring up a program at first, you'll get a pop-up Spybot - Serch and Destroy. I like the name. Its freeware, so it isnt too shiny but lives up to its name. This post has been edited by Black Hand: Jun 10 2008, 08:28 PM |

To be honest, with Anti Virus I tend to believe you get what you pay for. AVG et al are fine, but they only pick up viruses when they scan - they don't have real time scanning on the free editions.
The best I've found has been Kaspersky, which doesn't hog all the system resources like Norton or MacAfee. Just depends on whether you want to spend money or not  |

Your statement is quite true BSD-IES. Norton and MacAffee, I find to be quite ineffective honestly. While you dont really have realtime scanning with the free ones, it s a burden you bear to do it manually, and considering just a few mouse clicks is all it takes, versus 20 or 30 bucks, ill do the few mouse clicks. Besides, comodo firewall pro DOES have realtime protection, it just wont have autoscanning, again, all you have to do is click two things.

I find a great antivirus to be Avast. It automatically updates, it's free, and it scans in realtime. I've been saved more than once from inadvertently downloading a virus by it due to it's saving a popup type thing saying "the file you are attempting to download contains a <whatever>"

Thanks guys for the support! You know I actually paid a great amount of money to get a good Anti-virus program! I bought Norton 360! It should be ever so good and safe! Firewalls and daily searchs and updates...Continous scanning..oh gee you mention it! But somehow these trojans got through....hmm I do have a fairly good idea how, but ..hmmm nevermind, let's just say I might be one to blame...
 Now Norton is quite messy so I think I'll get another program when the darn thing is cured. I'm going to my niece's graduation on friday.....oh boy more party! "hick" I was out on the sea yesterday with my colleagues, it was very nice except from the fact that due to very heavy wind, a glass of red wine just emptied itself over me and my handbag! It completely ruined my white blouse so...crap I'll have to dye it dark blue or something...."sigh" But we had a lot of fun! -------------------- Chomh fada agus a bhionn daoine ah creiduint in aif�iseach, leanfaidh said na n-aingniomhi a choireamh (Voltaire)

Well...... I use Avast, don't know who in my family chose it, but we've used it once and the thing that got in our comp was destroyed. I'll be in camp from sunday to friday next week, the no-electronics-allowed. They don't let you have a cell to call your parents (is texting really that bad?). |

Summer is officially here, and the weather has cooled about 5 or 10 degrees (F); which is a relief. However, we are experiencing the Invasion of the Grandsons, so hot weather is the least of our worries....
There will be much shouting, running about in a random fashion, perhaps abrasions and contusions, tears, etc., etc.-- not to mention what the boys themselves will get up to.... Hope everyone else is having a great start to their summer (or winter for those of you who live in the Southern Hemisphere). -------------------- The dreams down here aren't broken, nah, they're walkin' with a limp...
