Man, that bites. So you cant get into Norton at all? Maybe you can look up info about the virus on the web....

**azure turtle** · 04-21-2002, 11:14 PM

I don't like dealing with viri and other bad things that affect computers. Hmm...I bet HT would know how to handle this.

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-21-2002, 11:16 PM

Yeah, Norton either doesn't open...or shuts down after a few seconds...it certainly won't scan for viruses. Hopefully the PC-cillin I'm downloading will get it.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-21-2002, 11:18 PM

heh, just hope thats not a virus too....

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-21-2002, 11:20 PM

Nah. Its who Quickbooks sent me to to fix the problem.

BTW, as I was doing yardwork and marveling at the wonderous thing known as sunshine...I was thinking about TMNT. (Wow. Big surprise there.) I'd just love to see Splinter in a t-shirt and shorts. And of course, T-shirts have so many possibilities for slogans...

**azure turtle** · 04-21-2002, 11:24 PM

Uh oh....I sense impending doom for Splinter.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-21-2002, 11:24 PM

hehehe, drawing opportunity?

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-21-2002, 11:26 PM

Its just an amusing concept. Would Splinter wear a t-shirt? I know he's always portrayed in a kimono robe and trousers...but cartoons and comics are like that. Calvin always wore that same striped shirt.

I was picturing him in a garish Hawaiian shirt as well...

**Machias Banshee** · 04-21-2002, 11:27 PM

*runs off to plot...*

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-21-2002, 11:32 PM

Perhaps the thought was somehow prompted by one of the online comics I read. Some months ago one of the main characters (a goth girl always clad in a long black robe) was revealed to be wearing loud clothing underneath it. She also confessed to playing banjo.

Of course, even if its not something he'd normally wear, parents sometimes enjoy embarassing their children!

hehehe, there's a pic you ca do while youre on the plane...

**Kali** · 04-21-2002, 11:57 PM

Heh heh. I should go through my t-shirt slogan collection and pick out just the right phrase. 'Course he doesn't always wear his kimono, I've seen fanart of him in other stuff. Like that nice shirtless pick GW did.

*Kameko* · 04-22-2002, 11:47 AM

A shirtless Splinter?! Um, one word: yikes. Now, the hawaiian shirt thing, I can picture that. Expecially after his impression of Elvis in Blue Hawaii.

**HorseTechie** · 04-22-2002, 12:10 PM

Heh... that was a funny twist. We go from real life bugs to the computer variety! I haven't heard of any major PC virus running around (the IT at my workplace lets us know when a big one is hitting the corporations).

But I did noticed two weird email files Hotmail wisely sent to my Junk Mail folder. One was adressess "postmaster" but it was ending with @hotmail, and the text in the body looked suspicious. Then I had another one that looked like a virus hidden in a spam mail titled as "Get rid of this virus". They both were like over 100 k, which was really strange to. I immediately deleted those upon empting my junk folder!

As far as fixing an infected computer... that I may not fully help ya with, I can just tell everyone of ways to recognize virii so you don't end up getting sucked into the trap.

I think the worse kind are those that attach themselves to benign attachents sent through emails, or downloads you get from the Net. I got a nasty worm quaruntined in my home PC, after getting it from downloading a driver for a printer from the HP site last fall! The only way I fixed that, was reloading the OS system (since it messed it up).

Good luck fixing the problem, SC!

PS... I think ants rule! (of course, unless you start having a great number of the uninvited ones getting into your food)

But house mice are worse in the pest category... they chew up stuff and then leave little turds all over the place.

**Kali** · 04-22-2002, 01:31 PM

We had mice for awhile. I loved chasing them around and catching them. Then we'd feed them to our snake.

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-22-2002, 02:58 PM

*screams and runs around tearing out hair* *Falls down in a heap*

I HATE THIS VIRUS!!! I finally managed to get the system scanned through Symantec's website. 93 files are infected including my mom's business program.

I may end up having to go through and manually remove it!!!!! NOt something I look forward to...expecially since this system is XP and I'm used to Windows 98...plus the fact that I'm just not this much of a computer geek.

*pounds head on the ground*

Okay, I think I feel a little better.

**azure turtle** · 04-22-2002, 04:26 PM

Anything that leaves behind little turds on the floor must be unpleasant

There there, SC. You must calm yourself. You can't properly fight off the evil virus if you bash your brains in.
*gives SC a punching bag*
Here, this should help relieve stress. That virus/worm sounds like it made a big mess. Total bummer. Good luck with killing it!

**HorseTechie** · 04-22-2002, 06:35 PM

Yes... even computer viruses are classic for leaving lil turds all over the hard drive!

The only way to clean up that crapt is a good disinfectant! Yeah... you'll prolly have to reformat your PC in order to get it back... provided the harddrive is not damaged.

When that SirC.worm licked my Wind ME OS, it was also when I bought Win XP from school. So I uploaded that... and then to my surprise, it saved the major files and quaruntined the virus. My PC is like a whole new machine again!

**Machias Banshee** · 04-22-2002, 08:52 PM

NIce...I dont know WHAT's gonna happen to my computer when i head home. I gotta find a way to keep my nosy brother off it. Lord knows, if he finds all my TMNT junk on here, He'll either mess with it, or delete it, just to be a jerk....

**HorseTechie** · 04-22-2002, 08:56 PM

now what was this of Splinter in T-shirt and shorts? *suddenly envisions MatchStick from the GreyGreen Sushi... Ninja... uh, that funky parody taken from the movie*
