Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by Drk^Angel on Nov 21st, 2002, 5:31pm Okay... I've been watching this 'puter all day long, and it hasn't done anything but sit there like an oversized paperweight. Is it supposed to do tricks or something? Maybe a back flip or two? Or is this like one of those posters that just look like a bunch of weird dots, until you stare at it long enough and end up seeing something? Okay... I'm bored... I'm gonna watch something else now... PFDAN...................................... Drk^Angel |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by Mr.Happy on Nov 22nd, 2002, 9:29am AOL........sheesh.......... Although we're "cable wired" the wife and kids still want to keep AOL accounts active, no matter what I say. Past two months, they've had the "Instant Kiss" of death three times, same result as yours. No real file damage, more of an Email barrage/DOS issue. AOL shuts down the account, you call up, and they issue a "really original" temp password, like "123". The second time, they re-activated our account, and before we could even get back in to change the PW, somebody logged in using "123" and slammed mail everywhere. AOL thought it was us. Dumb bastiches. Finally got it straight, but not until the kids Got the Idea not to fool around. You'd think AOL would've corrected this kind of internal crapola, but they don't care. They don't need to! :) That's AOL for ya........ Gotta love it, RJ |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by fubar on Nov 22nd, 2002, 2:09pm Yes, AOHell, aka Army of Losers. Remember when usenet used to be, well... useful? Then AOL connected to the internet. |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by Drk^Angel on Nov 22nd, 2002, 5:08pm Ya know... After all the trouble that AOL went through to buy Time-Warner, now there's rumors of them spinning off AOL to reduce debt, and help the books... Seem to me, the only thing that the multi-million dollar merger did was give the heads of AOL a different company to mess up. LOL PFDAN..................................... Drk^Angel |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by jonny on Nov 22nd, 2002, 5:22pm Cannot confirm this info but I thought i'd throw it out here just in case. ...................jonny Subject: Friends greetings.com warning I recieved this in an email and I just want you all to see it... A WARNING FOR ECARD USERS/RECIPIENTS: There's a new card company called "FriendGreetings.com". The following also applies to: laugh-mail.com friend-cards.net friend-cards.com cool-downloads..net friendgreetings.net friend-greetings.com When you (or your recipient) get(s) a card notification from them and click on the link, it will take you to their site. You will be notified that you have to install an ActiveX control in order to view the card. When you begin to install, the first thing that pops up is what is known as a "EULA" (End User License Agreement). It is very long, and you will not read it. They're counting on that. When you scroll to the bottom of it and click "Accept," you have agreed to the terms of the EULA. Part of what you will have agreed to is to have monitoring/spyware software installed on your computer which will periodically report a vast array of data back to the card company. The other part that you've agreed to is to have the software send mail to EVERY SINGLE ADDRESS IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. In short, you've voluntarily agreed to install a virus-type product on your machine. This is not a good thing. Since there is no virus in the email, and since you're VOLUNTARILY agreeing to install the ActiveX component, VIRUS CHECKERS WILL NOT CATCH THIS. Just a reminder: DO NOT RUN ANYTHING FROM THE INTERNET WHICH REQUIRES A EULA AGREEMENT. Ok here's the deal on this, I researched this on Snopes which is a urban legend and hoax site. This is what I found on there... Claim: Opening a greeting card from FriendGreetings.com can trigger a software download that will automatically send an e-card to everyone in your address book. Status: True. If you'd like to read everything they had to say just go to www.snopes.com and type in friendlygreeting.com in the search on that page. |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by catlind on Nov 22nd, 2002, 5:28pm Both NAV and McAffee are talking about the e card virus, so it's probably accurate. What I need to know is who out there can identify and write AV definitions so I can get rid of this fucking IRC trojan that won't go away and continues to reinstall itself after each and every format. NAV doesn't find it. This thing is driving me insane....I manually removed most of what I KNOW is the trojan, but am stumped at what else to do since without a firewall, you're defenseless against it and you can't AV fix it cause the AV software doesn't find it >:( Phucking Hackers ;) Cat |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by Ueli on Nov 22nd, 2002, 6:48pm A good tool to find and remove spyware (programs that send back personal data) is: You can download it for free from http://www.lavasoft.de/index.html or http://www.lavasoft.nu/index.html Warning: Some advertisment financed shareware programs will not run without their spyware. Happy spy hunting, Ueli |

Ummm see that's the biggest mystery and problem Drk, I DON'T HAVE any IRC programs installed on this machine and haven't been on IRC for over a year probably and never on my laptop. I will continue to reformat until I can figure this crap out. If I had a firewall I'd be fine....the desktop is stopping the backdoor.subseven virus, but the laptop is wide open and getting nailed. We are in the process of reporting a few IP's that are traced with the internet security on the Desktop but currently NAV and a few other virus software programs have been unable to actually FIND this trojan on my system, even though I know it's there. Until it's got an AV definition and removal tool, I'm winging it, and I really really hate winging it in the registry :-/ Cat |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by ChristineL on Nov 22nd, 2002, 6:54pm I had that Trojan IRC virus last week. Norton never picked it up. I downloaded for free Housecalls@antivirus.com and they found it. I had to take it to the hospital to have it removed. Chris L |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by Mark C on Nov 22nd, 2002, 7:36pm I liked it enough to buy it. It is Shareware for the first 30 days. Good program. Will clean your registry and allow you to undue any changes that may cause harm, but I have been using all year, after several upgrades, and have no complaints. Go here and get Zone Alarm Free firewall. Another program I liked enough to buy, but there is a free version that is more than satisfactory. It will pester you at first but as you teach it what programs to allow internet access it will calm down. and see how your computer tests. Let me know if you have any problems. One more thing, Ueli is right (again) about Ad-Aware, another program I cannot believe is still free, good one. Not all hackers are bad, some of us wear "white hats", we're the good guys. We can fix you right up, no problem. |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by Charlie on Nov 22nd, 2002, 7:40pm Thanks Mark for the clip art sites. I see a couple I haven't been to. I have a ton of the things but the only ones I can use here are the ones I talked that nut Michelle into hosting in chat. Now all I need now is to learn to do that. Really like the theater seats. Keep 'em coming Mark. I've saved a bunch of yours...many thanks Charlie |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by Drk^Angel on Nov 22nd, 2002, 8:50pm Don't worry Jonny... If you don't know what it is, then you don't use it. It's an old chat network that people still use. Sorta like HSG Chat, except IRC clients are normally not web based. PFDAN................................. Drk^Angel |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by Drk^Angel on Nov 22nd, 2002, 11:21pm Marc... That's because too many ppl know someone that uses IRC, and tell them how to get it and use it, but don't know to tell them how to protect themselves. I remember the good ol' days... Convincing IRC newbies to do stupid shit... Like the always popular, "Type format c: at the command prompt..." Or... "What's your userID and password, I'll take a look at your account and get ya all fixed up..." Those were the days... LOL PFDAN.................................. Drk^Angel |

Title: Re: Watch your puter Post by marty on Nov 23rd, 2002, 12:36am Okay, I guess that today was my day to finally realize that a Trojan had sneeked his way into my system. This Trojan could only be recognized by Norton (for some reason since I don't like 'em). Turns out that this particular one is spread via some "Pop-Ups" - I am not sure how that works really but it is not transfered via E-Mail (good thing). Up until today I have for a couple of weeks been yelling at MSN (dial-up connection) and complaining about being disconnected, at first not to often but increasingly more frequent to the point where I got disconnected 3 - 4 times every 5 minutes - and that made me "angry". Turns out that I also have an AOL account (had - canceled yesterday) and most likely that is where I got hit. The Trojan that I have cannot be eliminated - only quarrantined and it will remain on the Hard Drive - inactive. So now, I am trying to save approximately 25 Gigs of info from a computer that freezes up every time that it is not supposed to >:( So I moved everything over to a server that I have and installed everything I could think of, including Internet firewall on top of the server basic protection programs. Took me forever to get back with MSN and get them to allow all access since I was told that I could not access certain things from behind a firewall :-X Sorry, juyst blowing off steam here.. I'm really pissed off.. Marty |
