Hi holygeek, Saw the below and thought of Joyce :-)
Thanks again for the web soup - which you will find on this newly created blog http://chronologyprotectionagency.blogspot.com/ I was looking for one of my favourite computer languages website blogs "Bruce the Goose" The goose has been flailing and today it died - sob So in memory I created the above site go have a gander - the link to Joyces site is on the left anyone else like a link? Where is that Francis he usually has a few projects on the go? Lobster =============== http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_Windows_XP What to Do When Paranoia Kicks In If you are working on a Windows XP system that is misbehaving-- crashing a lot, losing files, going to web sites other than the ones you specify, or constantly hitting the hard drive when nothing is running-- you may eventually feel the bottom of your stomach drop out, as you suddenly realize you have probably been hit with a virus. How should you react? Ideally, you already have antivirus software available. If so: Disconnect the computer from the network IMMEDIATELY. If more than one computer is suspected, isolate all machines from each other, especially servers. Killing power to all hubs and switches is usually adequate. Run the anti-virus software you've already installed to scan the machine. What's that? Forgot to install anti-virus software, eh? Or maybe you just don't trust that it hasn't been corrupted. Well, in either case, you have a few options: Run a web-based virus scanner and see if that does the job. They're slow, but they do work, assuming you can run ActiveX controls. By the way, take note that this is a web-based control scanning every file on your hard drive, just so you know that really can happen. or Run a bootable virus scanner from CD; this prevents the virus from causing any more damage or Pull the suspected hard drive(s) out and connect them to a sacrifice rig (a machine you don't care if you have to reformat and reinstall) which is not connected to the network but does have recent antivirus software installed. Scan the drives. ================ http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_Windows_XP ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> $9.95 domain names from Yahoo!.
