HELP! The mysterious problem.....any ideas? - Page 3

Who writes a virus for a platform only 5% of users are on? What's the fun in that? It would be like staging a protest that takes 5% of the population out of commission. Boring.

I'm so proud that Lani finally made the switch. After a couple of years of stability problems with her last two Macs she has switched to a PC (and also because World of Warcraft runs better). Now we're no longer a mixed marriage. I was worried that some day we'd be arrested in South Carolina since computer miscegination is still illegal there.

Being the first person to introduce a virus into a area that touts itself as virus-proof is pretty much all that is needed, Alex. Hackers do a lot worse for less.

You're right, KB, but it really was just a matter of time before someone figured out a way. Even so, the idea of not having to arm one's comp with so much cluttering crap that some yahoo is going to sneak past anyway is attractive.

I've uninstalled AGVFree already. There was a conflict with NAV and AGV.

Sigh.

I hate this shyt.

Unplug the system. Open window. Toss system outside.

Soon.

If I make it to the Tiki thing tomorrow I could probably take a look at it before you toss it out the window.
