    I must have to see it in a descent format as the drawing looks like fabulous.

    Signature : 15/20 Sorry for pleading my ignorance but I've never seen this movie. :huh:

     

    My avatar is a representation of the Witchblade, Sarah Pezzini's Top Cow icon, the reachest comics hero they ever made.

    My sig is for the moment filled with some good quotes I sherrish all the day.

    @ LHammonds : It would be wise to add those new steps in your list as sometimes you will be faced with some unwanted effects and problems if you make a new install - especially when the anti-virus program is a different one. The best is to have a complete clean-up before making a new anti-virus install. :wink:

     

    1. Download the new anti-virus program.
    2. Download any manual updates you can find for the virus definitions for that program.
    3. Disconnect your Internet cable from your PC.
    4. Uninstall your current anti-virus program.
       
    5. Delete manually files and also empty folders from your previous anti-virus program install.
    6. Run CCleaner or a similar program to completely clean up your registry from obsolete keys that may stay.
       
    7. Reboot (necessary to complete uninstall)
    8. Install new anti-virus program & update the definition files if possible.
    9. Reboot and allow it to fully scan your system.
    10. Re-connect your Internet cable.
    11. Tell your anti-virus program to update itself immediately.
    12. Perform another scan if updates are applied.
    13. Make sure your scanner is setup to fully scan your system at least once a week (preferably when you know the PC will be on and when it will be OK for the scanner to run)

    Also, if you must use such sites, make sure you are using a PC that you don't mind loosing control over to a hacker and such. Another potential solution would be to isolate your web browsing with a program like Sandboxie.

    @Omeleter : here's a link to Malwarebytes Anti-Malware but it's a shareware and you have to pay for full protection features.

    Nothing is more important than living in peace with yourself - being poor or rich don't change that fact. The deal is to enjoy it to the hilt... during 60 years, or more. :wink:

     

    To be rich and sick or poor and healthy?

    Agreed. The success and expansion from FaceBook and MySpace made that they are sadly both a chosen target for all hackers, pirates and malware criminals.

     

    It's not intended to make you paranoid, only to tell you that it's a real war against organized crime who have decided we are fair pickings.

     

    Forewarned is forearmed. :yes:

    Few... It tooks a long time for me to read your story, sorry for the late feedback. Well, it's really an impressive and incredibly hard work you've done in there. Remains me when I discovered the great LOTR from the Master J.R. Tolkien - a masterpiece with a complete and reinvented world, a richness of details, beyond quality - tooks so much time to read it entirely.

     

    Just one minor thing - aesthetically I find the text color a little "harsh" to my taste. Otherwise nothing to say than : :thumbsup:

    Good point Vagrant0.

     

    It would be a good idea after that to make repeatedly scans several times as AV viruses signatures are often updated (sometimes hourly) and even in safe mode or with a clean bootable CDrom tools - before that, use CCleaner (free) to clean-up your system, make a complete AV scan then completely shut-down your system to purge memories banks. Power-up your PC, enter your Bios Setup to configure the boot sequence on CDrom, save your Bios Setup and launch the boot procedure with the safe bootable CDrom tools in your Disk Drive and scan again your HDDs.

     

    Just obey the simple rules, look before you click, keep patches and definitions up to date. Safest policy is to always backup your computer, you may have to start from scratch if the infection is too bad, but you at least will have your documents.

    The Greatest Miltary Commander

    in Debates

    Good question but a hard one for various reasons because it could be a matter of opinion and they are so much factors involved in it for making a choice. Plus, there are plenty of great examples of tacticians who have proved their mettle in conflict. Even though we must never forget that every successful military commander has their strengths and weaknesses.

     

    You win battles with tactics. You win wars and build empires with strategy.

     

    "A great tactician ignores conventions, traditions, formalities, chivarly and honor, :ermm: and wins at all costs." (unknown).

     

    The capacities of leadership, and to take advantages, win battles in spite of your weaknesses or inferiority and even when outnumbered, would be my personal criterias for making such a choice. I personaly think that making a selection depending on the period would be a great idea too.

     

    Ancient times:

    Hannibal - (tactician), strategically he was unable to take full advantage of his victories, but tactically they make him the greatest.

     

    Medieval times:

    Genghis Khan - (tactician), he didn't care how he won, so long as he won, remember that Mongolia is a sparsely-populated country and he annexed mostly of the Asian empire.

     

    Modern times:

    Napoleon Bonaparte - (strategist, tactician), a military genius and wised politician.

    Rommel - (tactician), very competent, he fought impossible battles and somehow found a way to come out victorious.

     

    Note:

    My choice of Napoleon Bonaparte may not fit to every one tastes, but he was one of the greatest empire builder and only a few men had spark off so much contradictory passions as him. :happy:

     

    "Napoleon's campaigns are studied at military academies the world over. While considered a tyrant by his opponents, he is also remembered for the establishment of the Napoleonic code, which laid the administrative and judicial foundations for much of Western Europe. Napoleon has become a worldwide cultural icon who symbolises military genius and political power." (wikipedia).

    Whales, because they are peaceful animals. The blue whale is the largest known living animal by volume and weight, an endangered species whose official record length is 33.58 m (110 ft 2 in), and weight 190 short tons (172 metric tons) for a pregnant female. (wikipedia source).
