I'm actually Runescaping. I'm that bored. And everyone's asleep, so I can't nag my friends yet.

If anyone is super bored then I have an assignment on evolving media regarding Printers, Computer monitors, Mobile phones and Mobile devices that needs doing.

 

(+9 other interesting assignments <_< )

Hey Star, what internet browser do you use?

 

For that matter, the rest of FG as well.

 

I just nuked a second computer with a virus, and it was most probably from here. =/

Nex, seriously. You don't get viruses from every single website.

Highly unlikely. What makes you think it was from here?

He believes EVERY secure site is always giving him viruses. :/

I use Firefox. And I too doubt it was from here.

There have been hacker attacks in the not-too distant past and talks of coordinated attacks. If no one else got it, it's probably not from here.

 

The only other sites I visited were also trusted ones.

 

If I'm paranoid, it's because this stuff can and does happen, and I have no abundance of luck with such things.

I use chrome. In all honesty, I don't see any difference in browsers other than the extensions/addons they suppor and the ui. It's just a matter of getting used to othem. I used to use Firefox until I switched computer. I switched the chrome only because it handled crashes nicely, allowing you to close a single tab if it was causing problems instead of crashing the whole program.

 

Also, I second obfuscator's question. Did you click any links in here that sent you to a shady website? Because, really, I hardly saw any links being posted in here, and of those, I probably clicked tha majority of them (unless I missed something) and I don't have any virus.

The kind of attacks perpetrated on this site were not the kind that could give you a virus anyway. Unless you clicked on a link someone posted here you didn't get a virus from here.

 

Also, luck has nothing to do with computer security.

-14 °C

 

And that's as high it will go today.

There's ice forming on my windows.

-14 °C

 

And that's as high it will go today.

 

 

Neat.

 

27.7º here.

These windows are horrible, and the people that installed them did a bad job.

Jeeze, I'm shivering for you.

Guessing you can't call up the company with a complaint? Because that may or may not be a serious mistake on their part.

It's honestly not that bad in my bedroom. The cold factor is on slightly annoying. I can deal with much colder cold.

There are perks to having an extra layer of fluff.

Uff, duff isnt here so it isn't necessary to report that I won't wake up to wet sheets

Does that mean you went pee? :grin:

 

Hey dudes. I'm off to mass, but I thought I'd drop by to greet you all!

 

[not] Looking forward to the two hour drive back to school.

If a trusted site is hacked, then it will usually be fixed in short order. That's what makes it a trusted site. The only time I could exactly pinpoint the source of a virus was a particular page on Deviantart a few years ago.

 

It has only happened maybe three or four times in total, and the two recent instances had ( in timing) three sites in common, one of which was Tip.it. Obviously that's not the source of either.

 

I realize that DDoS attacks are not inherently harmful to the user of a site, but a call for a generalized attack could attract the attention of someone with the means and will to somehow attach a virus to a site. Again, I am now confident that this wasn't the cause, but no harm in verifying.

 

And as policy I no longer click outgoing links, except to something like Youtube.

Do you have an antivirus program?

#-o

Nex, if a site got hacked and turned into a virus hosting site, you wouldn't be the first to know.

But what if he was?!?!?!?!

Oh, now I see what Halo was talking about. I missed that for quite a while.
