  5. Stop The (trojan) Cavalry

    in e-Saints

    Posted

    Yesterday, thanks to Stu giving me a very dodgy link looking for a File Transfer Protocol program I ended up getting about a dozen trojans on my computer.  Norton did its best to deal with them but the sheer volume of warning messages due to scanning emails that were being sent due to an almost certainly linked, worm infection, meant that I had no real choice but to close the thing off at the power and diconnect the net.

    Fearing the worst I closed the machine down and initiated a system restore.

    5 attempts and 4 and a half hours later(!), it finally got through to my desktop, where Norton was reporting another Trojan (the Bloodhound.W32.EP one to be specific) had been found.  Sadly Norton couldn't remove it but a scan would let me quarantine the 3 buggerated files that were infected.

    This morning I've just got round to reinstalling broadband as the drivers & settings went with the system restore.

    Basically, just wanted to warn you guys about the virus...and call Stu an arsehole.  :P

  8. The Best Things On Tv

    in Top Fives

    Posted

    1. Brian Sewell's Grand Tour (Channel 5). In which the impossibly

    camp, witheringly critical, and incredibly knowledgable Mr. Sewell

    re-creates the "Grand Tour" of Italy undertaken by all the best well-

    heeled young gents in the 18th century. Beautiful footage of the

    best and most exquisite architectural and artistic treasures in Florence, Padua,

    Bologna, Venice and Rome. Brian Sewell is quite, quite wonderful,

    and a National Treasure in my book.

    2. Dragon's Den (BBC2). In which various would be entrepreneurs

    pitch their business propositions to five frankly quite loathsome

    investors, in the hope of persuading them to part with some of their

    vast bucket-loads of cash (which is helpfully piled up in huge

    stacks of banknotes on tables in front of them) by way of investing

    in their businesses. It's a kind of X-Factor for the 1980s city

    bonus-boy generation, if you like. It's quite apalling, but

    watchable in a sort of car-crash rubber-necking way. Most of the

    entrpreneur's ideas are pitifully hopeless, of course, and half the

    fun is watching the Dragons rip them to pieces, but they always

    settle on one poor sod who has a really pretty good business

    proposition. But what do they do then ? they bully the poor git into

    parting with 80% of his company in return for their paltry £150,000,

    or whatever. It's apalling, really. But you can't help watching.

    I've admittedly caught on late. Is there anything better on ?

    Aye very good Bill.

    Listen Brian Sewell is a pompous twat who thinks we all walk around up here in animal skins carrying clubs.Anything further than the Tate gallery in this country doesn't interest him. :angry: Oh aye....and he's english! :P
