I'm good mate, although I'm about to hit the sack cause I have to be up in 6 hours for work :( At least it's Friday though!

How things with you mate? I'll talk to ya later man, I'm about to pass out :\
 
has ANYONE had any kind of problem logging onto ANY website? both chrome and firefox kept popping up a security page from fucking windows-it's fine as an OS but internet Explorer can blow me......i'd post pic too
 
^There are a few viruses going around (called rootkits) that pop up a fake windows security alert and then ask you to download an "antivirus" program to get rid of the "infection" (your computer doesn't actually have an infection - except for the rootkit).

You then have to provide them with your credit card information to "buy" the "antivirus software" - they take your credit cards and max them out then disappear. Hopefully that's not whats happening to you, but beware that not all windows security alerts are actually from windows.
 
no worries there. i haven't had a credit card in 5 years....i am also declaring bankruptcy-medical bills.
trying to get my shit together. it's hard but there is so much more i want from this life.

so,NT, who is the avatar?the guy anyway?
 
those are the two i use. it's some explorer bullshit. i am going to office depot today. i get a maintenance check this year and it has been 6 months-i'll let those fuckers fix it.
 
Firefox is good, Chrome is great. I run Chrome on my netbook because it doesn't have a graphics card and running Firefox with lots of ad-ons can get a bit laggy.

And the guy in my avatar was Paul Newman from the film Cool Hand Luke. :)

I dated a girl who lost a leg to lukemia. She was soooo fucking hot.

no midgets though

secret fetish??? amputees? or did you date her prior to loosing her leg. leukemia is a vicious killer. I lost my maternal Grandmother to leukemia...and that was in 81 or 82. medical advances since then are miraculous.

was this a random post,the whiskey talking,or did you read about my crippled leg and how i am gonna cut the fucker off???....just curious.
 
I read about your crippled leg. Also laughing to myself picturing Gavtron wheel-barrowing a midget amputee.

she wasn't hot because of the missing leg, or in spite of it, she was just hot. And happened to not have one leg. Everything was pretty normal about her, except having sex was slightly more radical since you had 90* more room with no left leg.

I never really thought about it too much, even now. It sucks for her, but it in no way defined who she was.

Haha I helped a girl at uni who was really shy and got one of these from clicking on one of the "Securely delete your browsing history!!!" ads while watching porn. A text box popped up saying windows defender found a virus and she needed to purchase and install some update to remove it then took her to a site on IE and if you closed the window it would reopen. Also blocked you from opening some other applications and utilities.

It was easy enough to boot into safemode and remove the malware since it was documented online, and then afterwords I showed her how to click "clear history" or whatever it says in IE. Didn't bother to tell her the impolite evidence is still on her harddrive unless it happens to get overwritten ;)

i know how to boot in safemode,but where is the malware located that has to be removed?
 
Depends on the specific malware (there are many different versions of it now). I recommend using a second computer (if possible) to download anti-malware programs (there are many, I can recommend some if you would like) and then install/run them on the infected computer while in Safe Mode.

If you have Windows 7 you can actually open System Restore from the Safe Mode Menu and then restore your computer to before you had the infection. After you do this, delete all other System Restore Points. I've had success using this method (followed by a Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot: Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, and finally, but most importantly, Sophos Anti-Rootkit Removal Tool scan and removal of any infected files/traces of the malware, in that order).

Your results may vary.
 
ok...here is the thing. i have McAfee...and it's working. my comp kept prompting me to back everything up but i never did. so i never created a restore point. does that matter? does the comp have automatic restore points. I am running on win 7,with McAfee,recovery disks(which the boot menu is very diff in win 7 and i don't know how to get it to list cd/dvd drive 1st).
this is some internal windows 7 security bullshit. i don't want windows security,i have McAfee for a reason.
can you suggest an anti-malware?
and what are the things you listed in parenthesizes that you did after a system restore?
maybe I should go to windows home page and email them or ask the to stop. i tried uninstalling things-which needed to be done,but this windows security doesn't show up.

fack this....i can't make it today but i also have a once a year maintenance plan-i'll take it to office depot tomorrow. it has gotten better,it is just the windows security trying to user pressure me.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

NT...i did a system restore to last week before this started happening. i think it worked. i think it is time to read the manual and do a little computer crash courses. lol

guess we will see if i need to go further back. sanks,mayne.

peace and love.......................skillz=D

Hope things work out for you, skillz! Computer viruses suck. And I don't understand why people even create them...I mean, what do they even get out of it?!

So, has anyone heard from TOS since yesterday? I'm really wondering how things went for him - I know he was delving into some new research...
 
Ok so I've been trying to learn the guitar for the last few months... having a lot of fun with it but decided instead of just reading thru the chord chart and trying to sound out songs, I should try to learn a song... so I picked perhaps my favorite guitar song of all time.... and I've just aboutgot this part down thanks to this here demo....

Eventually ill learn the rest of it but that may take another few months to a year....
 
I found that in the very beginning, learning other people's songs was really effective. It lets you focus on all the important things and gives you something you can compare your playing to for an idea of how you are coming along.
 
All you musically inclined people make me jealous...I haven't played an instrument since early high school (I loved it, just didn't have the time or room in my schedule to continue it). I really want to learn to play bass guitar one day. And piano. And get back to clarinet and xylophone...

so far so good. i think i fixed the comp. haven't seen TOS but of course i've had a facked up computer and haven't been online.

i usually see him on here late-late for me-closer to or after midnight(EST)-he is an hour behind me so.

picked up my 1st ax 2 age 13-taught myself,been playing ever since-well not lately bc of i can't sing anymore and playing makes me sad-23 years i've been playing. send me a PM so i will remember to send you a list of any type guitar site you will ever need. i'll tell you about every "teach yourself guitar" guru and most the products.

the key is PLAY EVERYDAY!
 
Yea at first I just looked at chord charts and tried to figure out what a song should sound like.... that's extremely difficult with no instruction.... and I even dj so I figured I would justsound out some songs to a beat and it would work.... well I have a lot to learn still obviously lol but I've found youtube to be absolute gold as far as guitar lessons go.... for free anyways....

And I have a really good free guitar teacher in person too... he was in several labeled bands in the 60s and managed and produced ever since.... anomymity reasons lead me to not disclose a name but even they are not as good of instruction for me as what I can amalgamate from youtube and REPLAY (key word) over and over along with them till it sounds right....

I hope this inspires anyone who wants to play music to go check out youtube.... search "beginner "your instrument" lesson" then search "a song name" in place of "beginner" and see what pops up

I just got a half decent $100 guitar off craigslist and a $30 amp from the same.... now its time to buy a stratocaster tho.... I had no clue when I bought my guitar with dual humbuckers.....
