| | Ah yes. I was completely ignorant download files here and there, and without protection. I of course didn't think I could ever get a virus, and it wasn't until later i realized how commonplace they actually are. So I just downloaded this really big file, and it was a game. Only thing was it didn't work. Later I realized that was the biggest slap in the face virus ever. Somehow it managed to email itself about 20 times without my knowing it. It appears to only mess up cd-rom drivers. But, someone complained to my ISP that I had given them a virus. So, the next day my internet was cut off and I was left with an email explaining a complaint. Well then I spent about $200 on norton and a professional firewall. I later scanned my computer for viruses and found about 30 of the juicy suckers. Probably a third of them were trojans. My warning to all of you: don't think you are protected. And scan at a minimum of once a week for viruses and spyware/adware. Best of luck to all of you and be safe! |

oops! I understand how bad you must be feeling at this point of time but my suggestion is that before buying any product you must go through the forums and you'll find several antiviruses which are free and you dont have to pay even a single penny to use them. Anyway good for you that now you've got Norton and that you've learned a lesson that no one is safe on the internet without protection (infact worse..even if you have protection you are not 100% safe  )

Why Do Hosted Members Need Posts Aproved In The Internet Forum?
This is deeply annoying. (4) Ive posted a few topics in the internet forum now, and its really annoying that hosted members (any
member in general but i understand about spam protection) need to have their topics approved. Now i
understand that to protect from spam and what not some posts need reviewing but at the end of the
day, being a hosted member means two things: One is that im probably going to be an active and good
member of the forums and not spam anyway and Two: that if i do spam you can just take my hosting
credits/hosting away. So why do i need to wait for approval? the mods do a grea....

My Thoughts On Why Internet Explorer Is So Popular.
(14) I see little point in the "What browser do you use?" topic except to discuss the pros and cons of
different browsers. It's obvious that most people will use Internet Explorer because almost all
computers that are bought for people or sold to them are pre-loaded with Some version of Windows, in
which the only browser is Microsoft's own, Internet Explorer. And since a big proportion of
first-time computers users are not so computer savvy and do not become so because they do not really
need to, they will use what they are given. In the internet Cafe I am typing....

Internet Browser For Nintendo Ds
