Don't open anything from me.

I just detected a virus going round.

we've discussed this. PalinPorn.com and HotConservativeBabes.com are both filled with Trojans...

oh, wait, never mind, there's no Trojans near anything even remotely conservative...

...which would explain why you caught a virus.

Tree,

Boldwin was trying to be considerate and give everyone a heads up. Your post makes his claims you constantly trolling him look true.

I think you were trying to be funny, but it didn't come across that way to me.

I thought this was somewhat related to the conversation

Religious Sites are worse then Porn for Viruses

Letting your anti-virus expire is also disadvantageous. As far as I can tell from my Norton reports there were only two instances of a 'virus' mailing out and both were not actually viruses per se but the were a program my now dead grandfather unwisely downloaded.

He had one of these questionable registry cleaner services operative and when my anti-virus protection kicked off they started mailing out.

But thanks for unfairly smearing me at every opportunity, Tree.

one suggestion - dump Norton. it's extremely bloated these days, and there's a lot of ethical issues with what they do, not the least of which is sometimes auto-renewing your subscription without your permission, declaring legitmate programs (such as spotify) as Trojan Horses, and so forth.

But thanks for unfairly smearing me at every opportunity

again, it wasn't a smear. it was a joke poking fun at conservatives and condom usage.

Well here we go again. Some hacker from China/Viet Nam got my yahoo password off a gamesite I use, I am guessing and sent out a mailing to my whole list. Norton cheerfully told me my account was used by an unknown device.

No subject, link to a business?

Yes, I changed my yahoo password.

Bizetad.cn, but it was different address to several other addresses.
