ah now we have a bit more info. Multiple drives definitely complicate the situation! Although there is a high chance the virus only targets the operating system (and therefore that drive only) - I've had a couple like this and they did certainly ignore my other drives... I suggest using you're new virusscanner to clean or find&delete any infected files on the other drives, THEN re-install the OS. Sorry, but that seems like a good way of ensuring it's all gone

Have a very happy birthday.I suspect some drinks will be in order and a fast car drive for exhileration!Enjoy it and I even suggest that you extend the partying over 'till tomorrow as well, cos you gotta admit, two days birthday is better than one!!!

I'd go for the tree everytime!!! I mean, it's a bear. One look and you'd start running. Trouble is it would start rocking the tree!!! now that would be frightening. There's no way in hell I would go and lay down in it's path of destruction. I mean, what if it treads on you? You wouldn't be able to breathe. That way there would be no survival even if the bear thought you were dead...

LOL, well if that's the case I'd recommend keep it secret!! unless, of course!, it's wartime and two broken legs would get you send back tou you're country hehe. At least you searched and came to a conclusion of where you want to be. And one that you are pleased with

In fact Michael makes a great point. I always neglect to remember the system restore. Try using that and tell us what happens Make sure you pick a point far back from the current virus problems.Don't worry, it can't damage you're comp more than already has hehe...And once you've fixed you're problems don't forget to go and buy Kapersky Internet Security Suite. It's probably the most effective virusscanner & a great firewall to go alongside.

You missed out HOLOGRAPHIC DATA STORAGE!!!!!!!!!!!! - This is near the edge of our techological storage needs (I say near, because it is actually working and available to consumers!) You're also very lucky, while researching this post I came across a well laid out site with all the different technologies (very different to yours) you may well consider "borrowing" most of it here is the history of data storage link I read all about it in a pdf file I had *searches bookmarks* Honestly I cannot believe I found this, but lap it up. It's a great article, and not too long to read either!! http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ - Since this article the technology has moved on in leaps and bounds, as you would expect. So try looking up holographic storage and seeing where it has got to now Holographic storage basically involves a 3D array of light sensitive material (looks like glass to me) and lasers are used to store data in a 3 dimensional state. Apparantly it stores data page at a time instead of bit-by-bit on the storage surface of our usual CD or DVD media! - It therefore benefits from supreme read and write speeds. near DVD sized discs can hold many Terabytes of data and read+write that with amazing speeds... Currently a holographic array can hold Petabytes of data (yep, it's real) !!!!!

Sorry Velma but I don't agree... In my opinion it would be the best course of action to re-install the os. It is a simple enough task to do.Letting a professional try to correct the damage to exe's would be VERY expensive! (I know because I've once given my hard drive for data recovery, and they actually failed to succeed) Losing you're data is bad, I know, as I lost thousands of my holiday photos from the hard drive issue (and it's upsetting too) but it sounds like you have no other choice. Try to make a list of the stuff you would like to keep on you're computer, I recommend paper and pen for this, like installed games and programs that you will wantt to download or install from cd once you're computer works again. Also, possibly the best option if you have a lot of data you don't want to lose, is this: 1. buy another hard drive, it won't cost you much (but it will cost something. I'm not pretending it's all fine and dandy!). 2. take out you're infected drive 3. replace it and re-install the os on a new, clean drive. 4. In the meantime, give the infected drive to you're local pc wizard (PC world I think offers a data recovery service, but they are useless. I first gave the drive to them but they failed and I think it was them who broke the drive. the woman opened the RAM compartment to get at the disk, even after I had told her that that was not the right one!) and ask them to recover & backup the data you want to keep for you onto dvds or cds and ensure that is clean. This will probably cost you around ?80+ (depending on how many GB of data you have) if you feel that the data you want to keep is worth it... It may cost you, but it starts getting expensive when you want your data back If you feel you can bear not having it or getting it back when the virus has gone, it will be much cheaper for you!

er.. WHAT!! red shift is an effect with the wavelengths of light. the doppler effect is auditory. Working on soound principles and the wavelengths being "physically changed" by the moving object. I'm sure you could find a link, but from what I know, the purposes of each are very different

If I wad you I WOULD definitely reinstall. There is no telling what system files and changes have been made. From what you say, it sounds like the damaga is very widespread.Even with an antivirus that worked for you, it would be difficult to tell if you're system really has been cleaned. If you don't reinstall, you're computer could be keeping copies of the virus or backdoors into you're machine. For you're security, and actually a quicker fix than trying to remove this (or maybe more than one virus/backdoor/keylogger if the attacking exe was a hacker "kit") it is best to re-install the os. It shouldn't take that long, and you will have the bonus peace of mind knowing you're system is clear. Now, if you do decide to re-install the os, make sure you do this first: 1. When you're ready to re-install the os. Turn off the computer. 2. remove the power supply 3. remove the battery if it's a laptop or a backup supply if it's a desktop 4. Wait maybe 10 minutes for the RAM to lose it's temporary data and the capacitors to dissipate (virus files could remain in the Random Access Memory) 5. Format the disk (IMPORTANT - it's best to format the disk first then move on to reinstalling the os, rather than just overwriting with windows setup - This is easy enough...) 6. Go ahead and re-install you're os. 7. Make sure that any files from the old system you want to keep, you virusscan them first and copy only the files themselves. Don't copy folders. If you copy a folder you may well pick up a hidden executable or remnant of the virus, along with you're own stuff - so select you're files by hand from the backup. Hope this helped. I know it's a bit long, but so is the problem you've got!!! If you need any more help please PM me, I'd be happy to help you out.

My yahoo did stop working a bit back, but it seems to have started working again today. Try accessing it now they may have fixed the problem

Very well said Qpaque! I bet eauction now wishes that he hadn't advertised here =)Unfortunately there are so many companies out there offering the same kind of services, someone is bound to use them, without realising how they could be getting a much better service from somewhere else.Nowadays, it's generally a silly thing to pay for something as almost everything (with paid-for products being the exception) you could get for free or very close to that.

Thanks dude. I like what you said about it being cool but professional and fun at the same time... Actually, I hadn't thought about that use for the side menu! I just happened to set it up that way with both using the same menu links! :PI suppose it's a good thing you couldn't find any improvements required I sorta had my eye on the search box styling, but it doesn't seem to be much of an issue!

I agree, well done. It's simple, but kinda nice looking. I liked the categories, haha, you've even got a section for yo mama jokes =) I think you have got all the best sections you will want, and they're well organised in the sections.Now comes the hard part. You need some content!!! I have registered under Jimmy as usual If you wanted, a slight gradient on the top menu would complete the look! (it should be easy to do)

Ah, thanks once again alex! I've been away for a week so nothing has been done on the site.your post actually quite worried me, until I read the last line, although I must have read the first bit at least three times before reading the last line haha!! I didn't change any of the javascript, I just changed the html that the php searchbox module generates (at least that's what I thought I had been modifying ), to go along with the safari bonus features It's odd that something like that would just change, but I do know that when javascript is disabled the smooth drop down stops and the menu appears instantly. it sounds like you had javascript disabled somehow (maybe temporarily?) or some cookie problems

Very Nice, those are some stunning outcomes I have to say that I have tried this before, but y'know.. the hardest part was getting a decent photo of the eye! - Using a SLR is extremely tricky, you even need to guess and rely on the autofocus. Of course, you have to look through the viewfinder, not a large LCD that can be seen in a mirror - In fact I actually gave up. (oh and since an SLR is a large camera, you can't see round it in the mirror with the other eye!!!

Wow... I'm not quite sure what to say! I'm sorry that was what happened, next time as you suggested I'll use a different topic title. You can have my word, I'm not after link traffic. I don't have any ads or get anything from it, so there's nothing in that for me! I suppose I would always like more visitors, but I've gone after that by joining with thedailyrant.co.uk and we get a couple of visitors from them....

9block, good suggestion. what with the main articles being the first thing you see.. I think I might take your point and put the latest on the right, or something. First though, I'll take the searchbox mods - I seem to be having success with that! And yes, It is actually a Joomla! setup I would highly recommend it if you're willing to go through the hassle with templates and customising it to compliment you're content!.. Thanks Alex, that's a really nice link. Very well laid out, so I've decided to take it all on board!! I've got two notepad windows open right now, trying to mod the site's php for those nice safari features (type=search and also the history search feature) *It's done! so basically it seems to fall back nicely and i'd like to know if those two safari features worked...I was thinking it would be nice to style the searchbox with those rounded corners, like it appears on a mac. If you know how to do this, I'd love to hear it

Just to check if your ftp is working follow these steps (you won't have to change anything back & you can easily delete the network place we will create afterwards) 1. Go into the start menu 2. Click on "My Network Places" 3. Click "Add a network place" 4. Click "Next" 5. Select the option that says "Choose another network location [specify the address of a Web site, network location, or FTP site.]" 6. Then Click "Next" 7. type ftp://ftp.capitalheat.biz <-- Notice the ftp:// before the ftp.capitalhear.biz bit - IMPORTANT! 8. Uncheck "Log on anonymously" 9. Type your cpanel username 10. Then Click "Next" 11. Just leave the pre-made name as it is, it makes no difference. 12. Click "Finish" 13. It should now pop up you're web site ftp (through windows ftp). - if it didn't start, just click on the ftp network place you just made, under "My Network Places" 14. it will ask you for you're cpanel password. (You already put in you're cpanel username earlier) 15. Type it in, and then you should be able to see the folders on you're web hosting!! if all is well you can use this if you want, so when you know it works okay, find out what is wrong with your own ftp program!

You may well find, as I did when I joined, that the space you get is MORE than enough when you actually start trying to fill it all up :DWith package #2 you now get 500MB of space - that's around half a gigabyte, so AKA plenty :PThis was originally 150MB, so no, it's not a typo. 500MB is the current disk space that we Trapees get.Hope this helps too

Awesome Buff can we get a preview of what such member ranks would be?!? Also, thanks for reviving this thread. I was wondering when a member can customise their title and It gave me 500 (correct me if this has changed )

Not dead. You just had to do some searching.You can pick up those three psd's on this page: SABAS Design Garbage, that is a great site. If it's yours, congratulations!!

it doesn't require any "skills" at all, it's just a lot of fun!you go along to a place (many companies hold games) you get to rent a paintball gun, some overalls (so you don't get paint on ur own clothes) and a facemask etc. all it takes is to pull the trigger a couple of times and aim at the enemy!!!
