Temp Fix for DB

[dicksbro]

Well, that darn ol' FBI Scam Virus hit me and has my normal logon crippled. Trying to get the virus removed, but without much luck so far. My son-in-law and daughter are working on it too. I've set up a second ID that lets me get to the Internet, but, I probablly won't use it like I did my regular ID. Anyway, at least I can check e-mails and maybe stop by some until my machine is "cured." :mad:

Wish they'd make creating a virus a much, much more severe crime. Many years in prison at the least with the requirement that their assets be forfeited to help offset interment costs.

Okay, done ranting. Back to our regularly scheduled posting.

I read about that scam. Amazing how persistent viruses can be these days.

I got hit with one over Thanksgiving that Mrs. WI was kind enough to install to keep me busy. It seemed to be tied in with google chrome, and by deleting that & running malware scanners, I was able to clean it up. I reinstalled chrome and then clicked on a link in a search result and was brought to a totally different result. It seems that somewhere in residual memory, that initial search request was still present and no matter what I googled...it went to that topic.

Thank God it was "Fresh Spinach Dip". :roflmao:

Oh, yeah, as a follow-up, got rid of the virus on Saturday. Ends up we had done everything right and when I re-ran my antivirus program in "Safe Mode," it found it and got rid of the virus. :thumbs:

It was a pesty one, that's for sure.
