Rick, do you have "Tree view" enabled?
Dec 8, 2006 12:04AM PST

Try one of the other 2 "views" - then it will work Wink
I have the same "problem".

I always have

tree view enabled. I have the URL saved in my favorites. When I click on it, sometimes it goes there, sometimes it don't Reminds me of a commercial I am now repaeting to myself.

I think it has to do with it being formed with the old forum and trying to get to it with the new forum.

Just tried this again
Dec 23, 2006 8:17PM PST

and it took me three times to get there. Wanted the URL for a member to use, still doesn't connect.

I think it has something to do with the fact that Bob made this using the older forum, without tree mode, and it doesn't like it.

Maybe it would be better to have Bob make up a new Anti-Parasite Suite

programs. You run them once and look for specific malware. I run them every month or so. They aren't installed and left running like Spyware Blaster and such.

Norton is a resource hog. I've used it forever but recently have let the subscription expire and I've switched to the free AVG. I run it on all my machines. Don't know why I do because PCWorld and PCMag rate it almost the lowest in protection. But for my site page I feel that one of the best should be listed and not one of the worst. Ya'know kind'a like I endorse it. And I do and had used it since the days of RGB monitors. If I ever get hit by something AVG misses you can bet I'll go back.

Wayne, how about a SIXPACK.
Dec 30, 2006 3:57AM PST

My newest incarnation of a "package" is what I'm calling The SIXPACK. I'm still musing how to write it up with more warning than what an attorney general would consider necessary but it's starting to look what is needed for those that stuck their machine into a blender.

belongs in the fridge.

Care to share?

I could be tacky and state that with the proliferation of information to stop infections or at least prevent them, anyone who gets infected deserves it. But I won't. Not me. Nooooo. Never would say that they deserve it. Nope.

Yes, it's still in the fridge and..

No, that's correct. . .
Dec 30, 2006 4:47AM PST

It's just a utility that looks for that malware and removes it if it finds it. It's not on your machine. You're clean.
