Hello all. Sorry its been awhile.

Well I was on extended vacation for the holiday. Very much needed. But the purpose on this entry is something different. Ive learned alot about computing latley and not by choice. Done some serious reding about all kinds of subjects. My computer has been acting very funny lately and I had no idea why. I seems I have a trojan horse? Huh? Yea thats what I said. It appears that someone can put a piece of software on your computer and can control it from somewhere else.

I learned about cache and cookies and there were sites I had not been to. I looked at a couple of them and mostly were membership and product sites. What does that mean? Were they going there from my computer. I found folder of alot of email addresses. Alot of them. I looked through outlook and find nothing strange there. What are these for. I deleted them immediatley but dont have a clue.

I have tried with limited success to rid my computer of these problems but to no avail. It seems every time I restart my computer the problems come back. I also cannot get into safemode. A buddy of mine said to get a new harddrive but then Ill need a new operating system. I guess Ill have to buy that also. I did read that I can get a linux system and that they are free and are free from viruses. Im not sure if what I have is a virus. Ill be reading alot more. Man I cant believe that I have to worry about going out the front door and the idoits on the road but now have to worry about people getting into my computer. Such a sad state of affairs.

Well Ill keep you posted on what else I can do and what happens. many things to learn. Trojan, virus, worm, cachee, cookies, just to name a few. I feel overburbuned by all this not to mention ticked off. Maybe Ill check price of a mac so I can run linux. Huh?

Now Im wondering if they are watching me write this. Or worse have my passwords.

To better days, your friend, Gregg
