Parasite...off-topic
Posted by Steve-o on July 17, 2003 at 10:38:04: Previous Next
I tried to come to the message board last night, but a site came up from Internet Optimizer. I never installed this and I didn't want it. I found a site with info on it that tells how to remove it, what it is, etc. This site has many parasites listed on it, with info on them, and links to other such sites. In case anyone needs this info in the future the site is http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/ . Toward the bottom are links to several sites. One has a utility which scans your computer and automatically removes the parasite. It is called Spybot Search & Destroy. Very good in my opinion.
I know this isn't about hair but I know someone is going to need this eventually.
BTW I won't be able to take any progress pics on the 19th this month, my digital cam is...well....not itself. I guess I'll just buy a disposable....

I'd like to know what went on.
normallyin such cases you get a 404 error, not a 403
and another

One possibility is that Victor's ISP was hacked. An even worse
possibility is that their nameserver and/or router was hacked.
At least it seems fixed now :-)

I thought maybe I'd been banned too. But, I haven't done anything worth being banned lately...
Thought someone complained about me using their pic on the pics page without asking express permission or something!

I installed SpyBot the other day and suddenly couldn't access the hyperboard. Good to know that it's not the software's fault.
Site was 'OUT-Of-Order'...yesterday...

I didn't run across this "parasite"; but then again, I don't use IE. I suspect that this site was undergoing some routine maintenance or was down for other reasons (servers need maintenance as well as PC's).
