Advice re: possible worm???

Suddenly IE won't work at all. I have tried sys restore. Cannot access online virus scan. Norton not finding anything at all. I was thinking about re-installing from disc, but if it is a worm or virus it might wipe out the disc. What should I do?

word works, defrag works, sys restore works, netscape works, trillian works.

If this comes through underlined it is not intentional...

...put it in the frig.......

....sorry, just kidding


If you have a static bag, put it in that and throw it in a box or if not just put in something so it doesn't trash the transistors..

GM.....the only 'really' delicate part of a modem card, or any other PCI or ISA card is the strip of contacts along its bottom.....body oils/sweat on the contacts can contaminate the connection and possibly cause the card to 'fail'.....other than that, you can practically kick the things round like a football....

OK, I'm getting used to the idea that I am going to have to take a piece out (asexually). But now I am wondering if I should have some other piece to put in its place... to block the dust coming in.

but DUST likes to come in... I would cober it with one of those generic silver things you can bolt in. Dust can kill a system.

But later down the road she will start a thread entitled:

"My system just died!"

And after many posts we will find out it was due to dust built-up and a static discharge...

You drinkin' again


When I worked in the emergency rooms, it was the drunks who were relaxed enough to come through the worst accidents with only scratches... theory being they were very limber and went with the flow.

.... following on with that theory it might be handy to have just enough to relax and quell the shaking and yet not enough to blur the vision.....

covering the hole with duct tape works just as well as a silver cover.

You can also get a fan for blowing hot air out that fits in the slot like this one:

You might be right....God only knows China is 'relaxed'
