My friend got sucked in by the fake Microsoft service company from India when they phoned him saying his computer was sending out an alarm. Of course, he told me about it next day after he agreed to pay the $250 and then did not wire the money. He said he was ok and the computer ran fine. Well...

I have started a new thread as the previous thread is not really relevant any more.... When I looked at the operation of IE7 I noticed the reference to Search.conduit.com and checking the internet I see it IS a virus. But in looking at solutions there does not seem to be a consistent attack to...

I have always liked Paintshop Pro over other graphics software. I developed a huge banner type graphic (BMP) under PSP6. It is about 27 meg in size...essentially it is a file with strips of various banners that I can take over to Kinko's and have printed out using their plotter. Then cut into...
