Here is a good recource if a virus takes out your Virus programme (I had one which disabled the Update facility on AVG).
These are online scans
It`s funny how easy I cope with Viruses now, the first time I ever became infected, I was mortified, I felt so unclean! Now I have a teen who is often infecting us, I am well on the ball! My PC is like Fort Nox now!

Be yourself. If you are happy and confident then thats what `real` people will find attractive. Unless you feel unhappy with your size, or need to lose weight for health reasons, I`d say don`t mess with a good thing!
Besides, when I tried to diet, all I could think of was food! Ironically, when I stopped caring, I lost three stone!
For me, I am happier now I`m thin, but thats me, I didn`t feel that the extra weight paid me any compliments, I`m a very small frame, and it just didn`t sit well on me, but I`ve seen others who are very attractive as larger women.

Ok, well I`m not saying Norton is no good, it`s just that I am unfamiliar with it. If you try downloading AVG, and run an update before you test your PC, you should get the virus if there is one. Sometimes the update wont run if their server is busy, in which case you should try later. A virus programme is only as good as it`s update.
Give it a go, and you could try some of the online scans as well, they can be pretty good. I`ll see if I can dig up a link for you

Very true, I know some of my likes and dislikes would be totally different to others here. Unfortunately some people don`t look past the `liberated sex` angle, but as you say, there is a lot more to it than that.
For me the idea of Swinging Sex is a wonderful compliment to my marraige. It shows us that we have a wonderful understanding of each others needs, and the commitment to one another to cater for this. I can think of few things more satisfying than experiancing fun with others which I am also sharing with Mars, knowing that this is something we allow because of our love for one another. We wish to let each other experiance as much as possible because we are in love, not in spite of it, and we both wish to be a part of that for each other.
There is more to it than just that also, but thats how it works between us, in our marraige. The friendship and sharing ourselves with others is important for all kinds of reasons, we don`t just see others as tools for our enjoyment.....................unless I am having one of my deviant fantasies of course, in which case it works both ways! :twisted:

Which Virus checker do you use? Unfortunately some viruses bugger up other parts of your system which doesn`t get fixed just by removing the virus. I find running a Windows Update can sometimes fix this updating some of the files which have been lost. One virus I`ve had would shutdown my abilty to cut and paste, kill my modem drivers, and make links unworkable. If I was able to run an update before it took my modems out, and after I removed the virus, I`d be ok, all would be fixed!

I once received a virus which caused AOL to suspend our account. Apparently this virus caused one of our user accounts to send this virus out to 200 email adresses in the space of half an hour :shock:
After phoning AOL to rip them a new one for `suspending our account due to breaking TOS`, and not being nice enough to send a warning email first, we established it was a virus..........
I was so embarrassed.
That`s the thing with these viruses, once they hit someone with many email adresses in their address book, they go forth and multiply. Unfortunately they can flourish between members on community forums! I had a hell of a job explaining to one member of a forum that another member hadn`t purposely tried to sabotage their computer, it wasn`t pretty! :shock:

I just read Judy TV`s last post on Emma`s thread, and rather than hijack her thread with this, thought it might be more prudent for me to start a fresh one.
I just wanted to point out to all those members on this site, who show intolerance to other members, that in joining here, and accepting the lifestyle of the `average` swinger, they themselves open themselves up to a lifestyle which is questionable to many. Do we accept the prejudice which accompanies this much of the time...........
HELL NO!
So when there are others on this site, who`s sexual activities do not quite meet the `norm` in ways other than swinging, whose to say this isn`t as acceptable?
Where are the Sex Police? How do they draw the line? Let me know, because I always drew the line at non-consentual and harmful sexual activity. If I am mistaken, I`d really welcome one of the Sex Police coming on here and correcting me.
Ok, I`m done

Hi Lesmond, I`m fairly new here, but I looked at your site, and some of your posts, and as far as I can tell you are doing nothing wrong. You certainly don`t come across as obnoxious, and you spend time replying to the social threads in a friendly manner, I think you are doing just fine . People here come in all shapes and sizes, so please don`t feel you are unattractive, you are no Quasimodo! I think it`s just a case of so many people on this site that it is easy to be overlooked in the crowd. Carry on the way you are, and I`m sure someone will spot you for your qualities, because you do have some nice ones.
((((Lesmond))))

Thanks, but I *think I`m protected OK from Viruses at least. Now I`m working on Adware and spyware.
Current set up is-
Zone alarm firewall
AVG Virus checker
Ace Utilities clean up programme (cleans junk files, registry etc)
Spybot search and destroy
Win Patrol (this ones good, gave me the heads up on a couple of parasite programmes downloaded with Hotbar, then gave me the option to remove them)
Safe guard popup blocker pro
F-prot anti-virus
I want to schedule all these to run before the PC shuts down, or maybe on start up, but my Task schedular is out of whack. I has to restart my RPC, then it told me that the Task manager needed to be switched on, so I did that, then it told me something else wasn`t on, but that last one went way over my head, so I`ve hit a brick wall.
AND I`M STILL GETTING POP-UPS!!
I know what it is, it`s `Hotbar`, it was riddled with spyware, all but one of which I was able to remove, the other `was in use`. I don`t want to lose Hotbar, it`s great for the kids. I`ll have to remove it when the programme is not in use, and hope the programme still works........
Or find a better pop up blocker.
One Pop-up blocker I used wouldn`t let me open mulitple IE windows at first, and when I allowed one, it allowed them all!
There is only one kind of `pop up` I like, and it`s strictly organic :twisted:

Hi Tom and Zoe
Welcome to the Forum. Run away now while you can!!! Your life won't be your own if you don't. You will spend all your spare time in here and never see your kids or friends again!!
On the positive side, if you join in you'll make lots of new friends here, so make your choice now!!!!
Kids?! Oh bugger, I knew there was something that kept niggling at the back of my mind! :doh:

Ah.....this is where the sympathy flies out of the window....
I am not a wealthy woman, I use P2P file sharing for software I can`t afford. AVG was supposed to be set up to alert me as soon as a dodgy file was downloaded......
I didn`t allow for the fact that the very disk I burnt for Windows XP was dodgy! Primarily because the same disk seemed to work ok with my other PC.
Ah well, you live and learn........

Just as long as people have got to know me and not decided they don't like me before I've been given a fair chance, I really don't mind.
I know what I am and accept myself. I can only hope others do
Dawn :silly:
I think Dawn`s got it here, if people don`t like you on first impression`s then they are not worth worrying about.

A free for all thread for bitching. I`ll try to keep the cursing to a bare minimum as I`m not sure how much free range we have here............but
SH*T SH*T F*CK BOL-- LOCKING WANKER SH*T BAG LITTLE TWATS WHO CREATE VIRUSES SHOULD BE MADE TO EAT THEIR OWN EYEBALLS!!
I just spent the last god knows how long trying to clean a virus off the PC, I had to shut off RPC so my PC didn`t keep shutting down, even though that function is there to protect the PC before the virus damages it too much, only to find out that said virus corrupts the Virus update download for AVG, so I spent another god knows how long finding online scanners which didn`t detect said virus, then spent god knows how long downloading every free programme I could off of only to find out the majority of the programmes only told me what I already knew, but would only remove said virus if I bought their programme...........
Sorry, I don`t do fullstops when I`m mad!
Ok, I`m done, I will be back when this PC is clean. There is still work to be done
