Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / May 2004I'm back (I think)
My computer got completely wiped by a virus. Just got it back from the shop, new OS (WinXP) and news reader. I hate learning new software. If anyone can offer some hints on how to navigate around this outlook express thing, I'd sure appreciate it. Smokey. Back on the wagon too. > My computer got completely wiped by a virus.

Keep your virus protection software up to date no matter how much it costs. WinXP is also very vulnerable to spyware, which aside from the privacy issues can interfere with performance. You can dowload spybot which will clean these things out of your system as soon as they get deposited to it: http://www.safer-networking.org/ Steve > > My computer got completely wiped by a virus.

I'd rather have my Netscrape 4.7, but unfortunately, that's gone forever. :( > Keep your virus protection software up to date no matter how much it costs. > > WinXP is also very vulnerable to spyware, which aside from the privacy > issues can interfere with performance.

I just hope these things are worth the 180 bones I had to shell out for them. > I'd rather have my Netscrape 4.7, but unfortunately, that's gone forever. :( Try firefox, available for free, from http://www.mozilla.org It has tabbed browsing, pop-up controls, privacy controls, and more features available through extensions. > Webroot Spy Sweeper. > > I just hope these things are worth the 180 bones I had to shell out for > them.

Hi Smokey! Good to see you back here. How's it going? How's life been treating you? (I know, don't ask!) Cheers!

Not too bad, thanks. Spent the day playing moving van driver with a truck I borrowed from work (One of those big Isuzu fish bowls). Wish I could still climb, I'd love to get back into it on a daily basis. Back on the diet and exercise wagon. I need to lose the weight I backslid on, and the resulting paunch, by the end of Feb. Some friends and I are are heading to Europe for a week. Dang, just remembered, gotta get a passport. > My computer got completely wiped by a virus.

Sorry to hear about the computer problems. I'm absolutely no help with the PC's but if you have a mainframe you need some help on just give me a call<g> Glad to see you're back. Hope to see you posting more often. Beverly Welcome back! > My computer got completely wiped by a virus. Just got it back from the shop, > new OS (WinXP) and news reader.

Looks like lots of us are working at chipping off a few pounds of recently-gained weight ... I know I am. Mary M 325-156-145 > > My computer got completely wiped by a virus.

SignatureDiva ****** There is no substitute for the right food > Yo, Mary. missed you girl! Thanks, Diva! -- I definitely need this group to help with accountability. My body is fighting hard to regain weight and I just need to keep on top of things on a daily basis in order to outfox it. I want to follow your maintenance example -- and apparently if I can keep it off for a year, my body will readjust and stop fighting to regain. So right now I am dealing with 8 lbs. to lose to get back where I was and then maybe a few more to get to goal -- though I want to set a goal range that I can feel comfortable in. How are you doing?

I've not heard this before -- can anyone verify? Not that I don't believe Mary; just that if it's true, it's good to know ahead of time...
