Post by: Porter on February 07, 2010, 12:00:32 PM: Rickey just made it here. I'll pm you my # and we'll get this taken care of! I just cleaned a machine with this junk last night!

Looks like not everyone received this PM either! Thanks to many of the great members on here notifying me, I was able to stop it from being any worse than it was!

Post by: Porter on February 07, 2010, 12:47:22 PM: I'm working with Rickey now getting his machine cleaned up. I think me and him might track this person down and put a not on their head!

I'll be making some changes and I'll let everyone know what they are. Obviously, if you think they are bad ideas... I'll be all ears!

No need to bump now Mike. Porter made it a sticky. *up*

Post by: SS Custom Calls on February 07, 2010, 01:06:05 PM: Just remembered I got something like this from nchuntnfish a few days ago. Said I had a virus on my computer with a link to fix it. I deleted the post. Didn't really think much about it until now, so if anyone belongs to that forum be careful.

Thanks for getting me through this mess. You are good. I am like Jeff and no computer guru. I turn them on and click the mouse where it tells me to go.

Mike,

You are welcome!

I'd like to thank Mike, Lou, and Daryl for notifying me so quickly. Without these members, we might have infected a lot more users!

I'll be making some changes and posting them here soon *cheers* If you do not agree with what I do, just let me know! I'm a pretty easy yeller wearing fool to get along with :)

Everyone please have a good Super Bowl Sunday! I appreciate everyone keeping this at the top! Hopefully this headed off some people clicking on it!

He walked me right through it and that was not easy to do. We didn't even have calculators when I was in school, much less computers.

I took 3 semesters of college calculus without a calculator. Today a student would be lost without one.

Post by: Porter on February 09, 2010, 06:29:41 AM: Well even after my latest changes, ForumTeamSupport logged in and did the same thing sending out alerts!

Once again, I will never send out anything like that!
