    Ads that put nasty stuff on your PC like spyware or ransomware that tells you your PC is infected and you need to pay £50 to clean it but its the same company that infects you and offers you the "cure".

    Basically you should only be worried if you have IE. Run ad-aware or spybot search and destroy to see if youve picked up anything.

    In Ghostbusters 2 all the ghosts were held in a electronic facility until the NYD public health department turned off the force field.

    Imagine all those loose spirits floating around in the air and when they see a nice comfortable server they all try and get into it.

    They love to live inside servers and love to nest inside PC's . It's difficult enough to check these ghosts and ask are you a ghost? when its just a normal day so when someone opens the gates to all known ghosts then the gatekeeper either shut their doors and stop working completely or try and continue to work at a much slower rate ... some gatekeepers fall over and some don't give a **** and let some in. These ghosts are very naughty and leave poos inside PC's ... and a **** from a ghost even has a mind of it's own and most times a completely different stink.
    These ****s stink and spread and even Toilet Duck won't shift them. The **** backs up and get stuck in the million of tiny holes on the porous Windows operating system.

    The traffic of ghosts is a akin to the Dartford Tunnel on a Friday night all heading for Essex and Norwich... so the volume slowed down the circulation.

    Macs are simples as they have Proton packs : The Proton pack is a fictional energy weapon used for weakening ghosts and aiding in capturing them within the Ghostbusters universe.[1] First depicted in the film Ghostbusters, it has a hand-held wand ("Neutrino Wand" or particle thrower) connected to a backpack-sized particle accelerator. It fires a positively charged stream of protons that polarizes the negatively charged energy of a ghost, allowing it to be held in the stream. Macs crossed the streams plus the OS is made of black granite worktops ... they get dirty of course but its just a case of shake and vac and put the freshness back.

    Is Swords Banned? and Imaz? I hope not otherwise I will do another poo in this forum

    Google wouldn't let me back on for a couple of days. Now the 'malware' tag is removed, it let me back in.
    I've been sitting at home, all alone, bar empty, no conversation happening, total gloom .................. but now, the sun is starting to shine, the birds are singing, it's a new day and were back on the forum.
    Praise the Lord, sing alleluia .......... were back in business!<party>

    Just been given my laptop back by the bloke in our village who "sorts" them. Apparently I had 4 different viruses on it and it was probably linked to the attack on this site and the general internet attack this week. Also, although I use google chrome to access the internet, it wasn't set as my default browser, which meant that anything else, including my e mails came through Internet Explorer, which was my default browser. Being ignorant of these things, I had no idea. Anyway, he's made google chrome my default browser, so that everything, including my e mail goes through it. I don't use IE now which he said would probably have been the cause of some of the viruses, as anything I linked to from this site would have gone through IE.
    One of the viruses had also told my McAfee security that everything was ok and that it didn't need updating!!

    Anyway, all ok now and he's put everything as it should be. Phew!!

    Id get away from McAfee, go to a free security like comodo which is also a firewall.

    A step away from IE will reduce any problems by 90% though.
