In Reply to: Another lame attempt to try to not get people to read the article - Just me
I had to do a deep virus scan and fix to get rid of the thing. It took up almost 4 hours of my time last Sunday and I was NOT a happy camper....especially since the link led me to MORE OF THE SAME tired junk that has been dominating this forum for months.
You put WAY too much importance on yourself and the only horse hockey around here these days is the lame law suits to nowhere you keep obsessing over. We are ALL waiting for the SC to deliver the final blow to this utter stupidity. What will be even more satisfying is the crow roast that inevitably you and you ilk will all have to endure.

Beware of new computer virus...sm
I got this email from a friend today and thought I would share it with you all.
*Emails with pictures of Osama Bin-Laden hanged are being sent, and the moment that you open these emails your computer will crash, and you will not be able to fix it!!!
This e-mail is being distributed through countries around the globe, but mainly in theUS and Israel.
Don't be inconsiderate; send this warning to whomever you know.
Confirmed at: http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/osama.asp
Origins: There are few headlines that would grab the attention of more computer users around the world than Osama bin Laden Captured, and that's exactly what whoever created this lure was counting on to snare unsuspecting victims who use Microsoft platforms.
Osama bin Laden Captured isn't a virus in itself; it's the text of a message that includes a link to a file called EXPLOIT.EXE. When a message recipient clicks on this link to view what he thinks are pictures of Osama bin Laden's capture, he can end up downloading an executable Trojan known as Backdoor-AZU, BKDR_LARSLP.A, Download. Trojan, TrojanProxy.Win32.Small.b,or Win32.Slarp.
Clicking the embedded link in the Osama bin Laden Captured message auto-executes a file called EXPLOIT.EXE, which exploits a known security hole to download the Trojan.
According to McAfee Security: The Trojan opens a random port on the victim's machine. It sends the Port information to a webpage at IP address 66.139.77.145. The Trojan listens on the open port for instructions and redirects traffic to other IP addresses.
Spammers and hackers can take advantage of compromised systems by using the infected computer as a middleman, allowing them to pass information through it and remain anonymous.*
Yes. Computer virus happened
the birth certificate boobs would be "highly doubtful." I'm not trying to get anyone to believe anything. I'm simply stating fact. The virus occured IMMEDIATELY after following one of these lame BC links and yes, dear, it took nearly 4 hours to get rid of it. Only wish it were that easy to purge this board of all the ignorance that surrounds these paranoid BC delusions.
If I am not mistaken, the virus can be avoided
worms spreaders are slimey scum
No, the virus didn't come from this page - it came
link you type in takes you to. So typing it in would make no difference. There is a LOT of malware out there, and it comes in all shapes, forms, and disguises.
Musta caught the virus from "why-in-the-
.Pesky. Hard to get rid of.
Does your mommy know you are on the computer?
Maybe you should be helping with the dishes or doing homework.
So much for my computer skills!
LOL!

Nevermind. I did get to the site. I was having a computer glitch.

I must be deaf, can't hear my computer - see message
I guess you didn't "hear" my question. I said what will it be like living in a socialist country if Obama is elected.
No matter what you want to believe, we will be living in a socialist country if Obama becomes president. What part of that statement don't you understand?
World Bank computer hacked
I don't believe for one minute the computers were hacked by some kids just trying to do it. I find it very disturbing this originated in China. Why haven't we been told about this before now, a year later? This is China's government doing this.... When will we ever learn our lessons and stop doing business with communists countries. We buy all their crap, because we are indebted to them to the tune of trillions of dollars, and they buy nothing from us. Now there's fair trade at its best!! Of course, what happens when you are indebted to someone/somthing? You kiss their butts!!!!!!
Does your parole office know you're at the computer again?

Can your computer monitor grow fingers?
Bought a Dell computer straight from sm
the company a year ago and no way would I buy another one that way! I might go to Best Buy where they have the Geek Squad right on the premises. If you call Geek Squad on the phone, you get somebody in India or better yet I got someone over in Japan!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn't understand a thing he was saying. The tech support is rude and nasty. Only if I could go through Best Buy and get my service at GS right in the store, would I buy another Dell Other than that, forget it!!!!!!!!!!
He has never produced the original, just one that he created on a computer and is not the real COLB
It has been found out that the document he created and submitted is not the actual birth record. The original is a typewritten birth certificate. The ones we type on a typewriter to submit to the state office (and back in 1961 there were not computers like there are today to create documents like the one Obama's camp created and put on display). Even so, at the hospital it is still a requirement this COLB be typewritten. They did find the actual typewritten birth certificate and the Obama camp has had it sealed so that nobody can see it. Has to make you wonder. And that is what the law suit is about (there is more than one lawsuit trying to get this document released).
Question that is on a lot of people's mind is - If you are a legal American born citizen, then just show the blooming original birth certificate and get on with it. Why have you taken legal measures to hide it and then create a false one and posted it on your website. Then on top of that a group (Annenberg foundation) who is supporting and doing everything they can to get Obama elected are the ones Obama chose to come out and say its real. Give me a break! Anyone with sense can see this is a cover up. An independent judge needs to sign an order that the original birth certificate to released. If we the people are voting for him then we the people have the right to see what his original type written birth certificate says. I'll give you a hint - the birth place is not going to be Hawaii.
