It went down sometime within the last hour. Maybe it feels it is no longer necessary and is sulking?

Completely dead. Not even the old line 38.

I think they saw the speed things are moving and felt like a load of dawdlers and pulled the plug to install a new server, it's either that, aliens or a simple traffic error on the net.

My money is on the aliens.

Darat, do you arrange the fur in your cat's ears with a spirit level?

And suddenly, one of my threads took a complete "off topic" turn and started to become a classic "Lets make everyone wonder if it really can be done" kinda thread...

And then Lux and Bearguin went and spoilt it...

It could have been one of the all time greats...

I could'a gone out with a bang...

Oh well..

It was obviously because I took issue with Randi's description of water 'clusters' and 'passivation'. My righteous truthfulness and truthful righteousness meant I had to be silenced at all costs.

More worryingly, I get redirected to mysearch.com. Is this normal ?

Isn't that some spyware problem? I still get a reassuring stolid "ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved" page.

What time did you first have trouble? It was a little after noon, EDT, for me.

De_Bunk · Post by **De_Bunk** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 5:34 pm

Asthmatic...

OMG....

NO...NO...NO...

Your PC must be riddled with Spyware...Dont delete anything until you know what your deleting..I hope you aint deleted nothing...cos sometimes they latch onto important start up progs...delete the spyware and you delete the startup prog and then it gets really hot and bursts into flames whilst your asleep...and then you'll be totally fucked and have to buy a new PC from me...

Dont want to influence you or nuffin'...

Dont worry...

Wish i could help more...but im a bastard...and drunk..:D

You have a naughty little cookie/adware thingy - try running Spybot and Adaware.

Dragon...

Not if hes removed the "Reg Key"...

That will cause a multi cascade of the DLL files...which in turn will systematically remove the ; from all current start up folders..

Ergo...

Complete meltdown..

Seems not to have melted down yet ;)

Asthmatic...

I was joking...

What i posted was complete nonsense...

Run Adaware and SpyBot Search and Destroy..

Then download a piece of free software called "Spyware Blaster"..

It stops the shit being downloaded in the first place...and it works very, very well.

I hope your you got a Firewall up and running...

If not...Download ZoneAlarm (Freeware)...

It is the best firewall....loads better than 99% of all "paid for software" including anything that was already installed on your PC when you bought it..

If you want any help..Just ask..Im always around..and continually paranoid..:D

I'd sort of guessed that you were joking DB. ;)

I already had spywareblaster installed and, as you say, it's excellent. This monkey slipped past it though.

You bet I have a firewall installed ! Not zonealarm; for no apparent reason it occasionally stops my connection from working altogether and needs reinstalling. Which makes my head hurt.

Problem seems to be solved now, but thanks for the advice.
