After spending hours the other night reading the Clown Posse website, my computer has come down with all sorts of problems, I can hardly type now as the letters take a lot of time to appear after I type. My computer is running very slow, and the curser is turning into double arrows and in general, this computer is now trashed. I'm not going to have a computer or internet for awhile, as I need to send this in to get fixed which takes weeks. This happened to me before after visiting the Clown Posse site to read. I don't know much about computer technology, it could just be coincidence that after reading CP a couple of times my computer becomes practically unusable. I'll be checking in from time to time on friend's computers but probably not much. Good luck to everyone and stay safe.

I'm not the only one, believe me. I have to use Windows OS's because I write Windows .NET applications at work. As a professional user I guess I do stress their OS in many ways that casual users don't, but I am not making up the fact that XP does crash a lot. No, it doesn't crash as frequently as their previous OS's but it is still a pain in the butt. There is hardly any commercial software out there that doesn't have bugs. The product I'm working on now has over 800 known bugs and it is only half finished. As long as it works for the majority of users in a reasonable manner, it will be pushed out the door; most all software companies are like that.
God is always good! I have had to use hijackthis before for a malware issue that my wife imparted to our machine via IE. God bless her. She uses Firefox now. Word of warning before I watch the second half of dook - UNC, read, read, read the forums related to hijackthis before you use it. It scans the Windows Registry and displays a print out. You check the scan results for oddities and can use hijack this to remove those oddities. Obviously, you can wreck a system quickly by deleting the wrong key. That is why you have to read, read, read first.
I know where you are coming from. However, 90 some odd percent of the world is running on Windows products. People can't or won't migrate over to Linux or Mac. If they did, Linux and Mac would be the new targets and we would be right back to where we are now with Windows.
I went there and downloaded the program to detect spyware which took some time, then when I clicked on it to run the program, the window popped up again for me to download the program which I already did, so I x'ed out of there, clicked on the program to run but again that window where it was already downloaded popped up. I can't get it to run, but then again fixing computers is far from my strong point. I don't know what to do next, I'm caught in a circle with trying to run that program which I already downloaded but wants to download again when I click run. Pain in the ass. Curses upon whoever did this.
How do you know that?
what does that one do?
That program I tried to run after downloading but couldn't said you have to have active x. I don't know what it is though.
Boy I can hear it now from poster Lucky Lu Lu, a poster at CP who hates Palo Verde and me, a poster who I strongly suspect is a major dyke or flamer from it's comments; "Oh she is so stupid!" "She's as dumb as a rock!" "Diana is Palo in training!" Too many posters on that forum spend way too much time patting themselves on their backs over their perceived "intelligence".
Good advice Ricky....
activeX is subroutines in windows to allow embedded sounds, video, and other multimedia type features, but it is really easy to attack computers using it, so most people disable it. People I know anyway. :)
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military. - William S Burroughs
No..... DIANA IS SO STUPID, OH MY SIDES!!!! There Lowlife Lu Lu, I said it for you this time.
Yes. It's called MALWARE. Malicious software from certain sites will automatically install themselves on your puter. Malware will hijack your system making it impossible to function. Most spyware progs won't isolate these trojans so it's imperitave you format the H/D and reload windows. If your H/D registery is affected you may need to purchase a new H/D. I just had to sign back in to respond to this post. Thankyou for the advice, nothing is working right on here it's really trashed. I hope one of these days someone sues or arrests whoever it is over there who does this kind of thing, purposefully wrecking lurker's computers. This computer has Norton but it appears the hackers can get past that.
You've spent too much time with the proles, report to room 101.

Too many posters on that forum spend way too much time patting themselves on their backs over their perceived "intelligence". Those people are not worth the bullet to put them in the ground. Absolute dregs of the earth is what they are.
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism -- ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
I went to CP through google after looking it up, and read on there for about 5 hours. I didn't have to sign onto it, are you a poster there? Usually only member posters sign into any forum. I am not a member of Clown Posse. As I said I went there a few months ago to read, and my computer was shot after that.
Just own more than one machine on a local basis. When one doesn't work, you have the other; think of the idea as nothing more than a modern day spare tire.
I think you're right. From now on I'm only going to buy cheap computers as I use them only to surf the net. I just wish I knew more about how to fix them. My laptop that Gateway was suppose to fix but didn't is probably a goner at this point. I do hope scratching the hard drive or getting a new one will fix this one.
And if you have to be online all the time but rely on cable connection to do so, keep a modem and active dial-up account for when cable goes down, it's only $7.95 a month. Put it on your credit card! :)

I regret it's more than "seems". Thanks for the heads up. At least it's only when you first click the reply. It doesn't happen on preview.
BTW: I have a better name for the software .... Microsoft Internet Exploder. Well stated. Unless you are performing intensive work ( as I do on some computers ) they need not touch the internet for any reason. My computers are immune from viruses as they just work logic as in Mentor Graphics, OrCad and FPGA design using several models. My machines are behind other hardware firewalls. Expensive, of course. But thats why I am paid the BIG_BUCKS.
Sure, why not. As you know I live in NYC; I am a poor and lonely 63 year old black lady washing windows on 42nd St. Honey, I have showed some leg in my time.
LOL Thanks...but really I can live without an apostrophe
Neil is a programmer, he likes to fix stuff, especially if the the problem is explained clear and concisely.

You don't know how to suck just right ... its an uncomfortable feelin' when your teeth clamp down on my nipples. Man of Goshin' Ain't you ever been with a woman, before?

Oh baby, I need some whorehound, got any?
Now- we can continue this pissing match if you wish. We can even nit pick and talk about how Windows is not the most popular OS in existence (iTRON). I am not by any means a shill for Microsoft. But the reality is people run Windows, a lot of them. As such, it is a targeted OS for people to attack and exploit. I can either help when things go wrong with Windows or ridicule people. I choose to help.
Had a hellhound on my trail for a while, but that's not the same thing, is it?

Afterwords you can enjoy a free Victory Gin, at the Chestnut Tree Cafe' Us Gin drinkers need to stick together.
C'mon scooter, get a smile on your face while you have time. I have beat the living God out of you so many times, you now wallow in misery. Look at it my way, I am innocent. Its not my fault.

If you want the "Check Pings" link to work for you, then you probably prefer this be fixed... Private mail might also be affected, though it's not possible to pmail a name not in the system.
BTW: I have a better name for the software .... Microsoft Internet Exploder. If they didn't sew those tags inside the neck of your t-shirt you could just turn the thing inside out and wear in for another day.
You are dealing with a 63 year old lady. You might think you can get away with all these sexual declarations ... but, I am taking you to the US Supreme Court right after Jesse Jackson gets a whiff of this. How dare you attack me in public! Oh GAWDS .. where is my cherished government to protect me?
You may bury my body, down by the highway side

Mr. Dak you just wouldn't believe what I had to do these past few days picking up litter and washing windshields on 42nd St ... trying to make a buck. Its cold, but ya know what I performed more than anything? I did it; I did it all on my own. Y'all, I did it. Not one thin dime from government or a cheap shot from a pimp. Not bad, for this ol' black lady, don't ya think?
I am the wind, sell refreshment drink, plus ten for uplift spirit.

Are ham hocs in any way related to falcons?

You might have picked up some spyware, try loading Ad Aware:

And for Pete's sake y'all, disable that Active-X in your browser. That seems to be where about 99% of problems come from.

Whatever possesed you to visit such a site? Clowns are not exactly normal people, and who really cares about what they have to say, just make sure they don't get your IP again.

That program I tried to run after downloading but couldn't said you have to have active x. I don't know what it is
#44. To: Zipporah (#17)
Diana do you know how to disable Active X?? And clear your cache?

Do you guys know if it's possible to get your computer trashed from going to certain sites?

Interestingly, the only way I was able to view and sign onto ClownPosse was through Tor. When I went naked, I gave their server an IP error. Never had any malware probs there. I used to have periodic problems associated with LP, though.
