Where Did All The Old Timers Go, A Public Meeting Place For Open Discussion

@Greensman,
Sounds like you was at my house last Halloween. Sorry about them tearing your leg off, they are used to the local kids tossing them the treat before they step onto the porch.

 

That's one of the included links in the message that comes up, if jan's link failed to cause the BSOD. Shows the hole is still there in Outlook Express. Glad to hear you've got software to stop the exploit without the need to reboot. I suspect most people still don't.

I'm thinking that one covers it.

Sounds like you're well protected. The bug for Outlook Express is still there on my system. The AV ware blocks the exploit though. Funny, I x(ed) out the link and now the link sends users to a X (porn) site. That was an accident.

 

I was tempted to try the link, but was not confident I could do a reinstall of my operating system myself. Much less find all the program discs and downloads I have. It's all backed up but it was a nightmare when I got this XP machine and not much of my software worked with it.

 

I PMed the link to you. No need to put it back on the site. It's a nuisance for most systems.

Garmoon
ddp and Billybob got through it. No lasting aftereffects and the biggest problem would be turning off and restarting the PC if the AV ware fails.

check out the sig thread...

 

Thanks, I missed the 7.

 

I bet you bookmarked it tho!!! hehehe.

btw I was stupid enough to click on the original link too. Didn't lock down or anything but I quickly shut down firefox and OE.... Went into "task manager" and had over 150 processes running. Shut them down and then restarted to make sure everything was "ok". LOL. Big nuisance I'm saying.

....gm

 

Whats bad like me i have a ton of stuff up and if i had to do a shut down,i would of lost a ton..as i would not have a chance to back up.i never click on a link here,unless i see afterdawn in the link..

links like that should never be posted here at afterdawn..
thats why i said who ever posted said link should be banned for 30 days.

Don't, I repeat, Don't stick your finger in the electrical outlet. It has been known to curl people's hair. LOL See if GMs missus notices his new coif in the morning. LOL

 

I agree, they shouldn't be posted. That's why I went back and rendered the links useless that referenced the hackers site Janrocks linked to (all except the accidental link to a porn site). I guess the X rated site might do some damage. LOL Seriously though, if such a link is posted for any reason, it should have a warning like ddp said. Ireland gave good advice, don't click links unless you know where they're going. When in doubt use Properties to check the link.
