I received a new MS Nov 2003 Cumulative Update today, flanked top and bottom
with the message that it had been sent with a virus attachment, sworm or
something like that attached and deleted. The post looked official enough. I
almost know where it came from-- I was chatting in an AOL chatroom Denver, some
guy immediately began being rude and nasty toward me and the guy I was chatting
with was telling him to leave me alone.. I got kicked offline, losing my
connection (not officially). Dunno what his problem was tho I used to live
there, but I doubt that had anything to do with it. I received the patch post
on that screenname, which is NOT the acct.'s primary, and of all our
screennames, that was the only one to receive it. I have been gone and
returned to find it.
I'm ticked because we were hacked once. This new computer (and we bought two,
the other fine), has considerable problems and every time I d/l a security
patch, it's fine for a day and the next day it's messed up again.
I receive messages all the time about my memory being too low. I d/l the
Lavasoft and it was great for one night, no problem. The next day, I was only
able to stay online a short time before being told my virtual memory is low
again.
I feel we are being harrassed. Over the years, since the first day I signed on
to AOL I've had problems. In fact, we were kicked offline recently, the post
we were sent of my daughter's violation was very bogus, I replied to TOS and
received an apology, stating we were issued the warning in error. doh. I
refused to have AOL for many years. When we bought these two computers, we got
3 free months of AOL and the kids love it. But it's been a real hastle. I
really believe someone at AOL is harrassing me. Any ideas???
Please advise on the update. Sorry I can't tell you the exact worm name but
it's on t'other username. What about running the Product Recovery Disk to
start over on this computer.
Thanks.
