MONKEY MUSINGS DAILY OPEN DISCUSSION #32 3/31/09 - 4/4/09

[marymary]

Evening Ladies,

   I am in formal mode tonight.  Down in the dumps.  Just bought a pack of cigarettes.  To add insult to injury just heard about the virus threat to millions of PC's.  Ain't that just dandy finally get a new laptop and now this. 

Ok,  maybe this too shall pass.   

MM - throw those cigarettes out now!!  I am on day 4 cold turkey!!  You and the grandbabies were my inspiration!!

Mytime...I'm sorry.   The grandbabies were my inspiration too.  But I'm starting to feel like I'm not sure I will have much of a part in their lives and it has gotten to me.  Can't really discuss it here though.  I really hope you continue to stop since you are important to me too.   

Oh you know your son will make sure YOU do!!  You will probably end raising them!!   

Oh no...raising them was not what I had in mind.   : Just want to be appreciated and trusted and given equal time.   You know what they say though...the best laid plans.   Sorry, I feel like feline poo tonight.  Wait is feline dog or cat???   

Do you want to meet at the bar for a drink??   

Last time I went to the bar I didn't have the proper ID.  I will give it another shot after I try this virus protection thingy.

INFO RE: PROTECTING YOUR COMPUTER FROM UPCOMING VIRUS -----




1) Open your virus protection program and use its 'Updates' feature to update
your virus definitions


2) Once you've updated your virus definitions, please run a virus scan on your
computer


3) Once you've run a virus scan, please update Windows, by doing the following:

a) Open Internet Explorer (it MUST be Internet Explorer; Firefox and other browsers
will not work)

b) Pull down the 'Tools' menu and chose 'Windows Updates'. This will open the
Windows updates web page

c) Click on the 'Express' button; a list of one or more updates will probably
appear (if it says there are no updates, you're covered)
d) Download any updates that appear in the list of updates. There is a button
at the top of the list that says
'Install Updates'. Click this button to install all of the updates listed.



Why am I asking you to do this?


Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 1, 2009, a computer worm called “Conficker C” is
due to be released by computer hackers.  This malicious program is thought to
have infected between 5 million and 10 million computers worldwide already.
“Conflicker C” imbeds itself deep in the computer where it is difficult to track.
The program stops Windows from conducting automatic updates that could prevent
the malware from causing damage.


What will happen on April 1 is uncertain.  If “Conflicker C” is released, the
worm could, conceivably, delete all of the files on a personal computer, use
zombie PCs (those controlled by a master) to overwhelm and shut down Web sites
or monitor a person’s keyboard strokes to collect private information like passwords
or bank account information.  More likely though, experts say, that the virus
may try to get computer users to buy fake software or spend money on other phony
products.


One quick way to see if your computer has been infected is to see if you're
receiving automatic updates from Windows. If so, your computer is likely to
be fine. The procedure in step (3), above, should address this issue.

Okay, did or am doing this and running full malware scan.  Question - my router died due to power surge yesterday - do I need to try to do this before midnight to it by hooking it up to the cable modem?

  Hi MM & Monkey Doodle!!!

[marymary]

marymary, i'm sorry you are having a bad time. i am in the crapper too.  still can't find a job, unemployment is running out and i am just sick of everything

Juju,  I'm sorry I don't know you better but...I feel for you.  I've just read some other bad news in the musings and wow it is hard to keep ones head up.  Funny how attached we can get to people we haven't even seen in person.  My prayers are with CBB and IM and you and all the others who are experiencing hard times.  I am also concerned about my new grandson too so I could use some prayers in his behalf also.   Rough night for the monkeys.  Don't know if this will help any Juju but my son is unemployed too now and just had twins.  I can tell you there have been many many times in my life where things looked quite grim.  I put my ills in Gods hands and well came out of a lot of hopeless situations.  Gotta say I caved in tonight with the cigarettes but still have faith that I will conquer this dependency.  I even have faith that you will find a job and things will get better.  So, see you have given me some inspiration for all of us.  God bless.
