One hand tied OT, but not OT

Posted by txblu on October 26, 2004 at 11:21:33 from (199.46.199.233):

Computer at home is now dead. A parasite programmer came up with a doozy of a device to take over your machine.

Best I can tell it goes by the name of Spy killer. It popped up when I was trying to get adaware and spyware to tell me what was nawing on my machine. This guy dismantles those programs, literally before your eyes. As soon as the home page pops up it goes off and pops up again and then distructs.

Had my brouser captured where my home page was no longer but consisted of this indexed sheet of stuff to buy. Got around that by deleting all sorts of things but still had the problem of my net communications being re routed thru us.i1.yimag.com. This turned out to be a website in Pennslyvania for Yoga International Magazine. They were skimming my sites (and maybe keystrokes too) and it made the thing slow as molasses.

Tried to delete the spykiller (in the programs section) and it wouldn't go away. At 2 am today, I got up and found a function that shuts down programs when you boot up. Applied that and must have gotten it as things changed drastically. Now I can't get the net at all and my machine won't even shut down. Have to unplug it to get the Windows 98 screen off.

So what does this have to do with tractor talk? Everything as I can't do any tractor talking from my home for the time being and when I have questions to answer, after I get home and look to verify accuracy, I can't send out the answer. Have to wait till the next day or Monday.

There are some really mean systems out there to make your internet surfing a nightmare. At the rate it's going, the internet, as we know it today, has a very limited life.

Will keep you posted, but in the mean time, think twice before you visit a site, and if it takes a longer than you think time to get their home page, bail out.
