Good morning all. We just took a 7am walk with the dogs around our Alabama campground and already humidity was thick enough to cut! I'm sitting in AC now, enjoying coffee and all your posts. Tommy is cooking breakfast outside...he likes to do it every now and again...and I'm loving the smell of bacon coming from out there!
Hang on to your nylons, Barbzee, less Hannah rips them off of you! I hope you are out of danger and your power is o.k. I'll be thinking of you lots today and Tommy's family on the coast as well.
The virus we had on this laptop wasn't malware, but an adware false antivirus sales pitch with warning screens and pop-ups. McAffee and Spyware doctor both picked it up, but couldn't remove it. My BIL is pretty computer savvy and over the phone he suggested lots of "fixes" that didn't do a thing to it! He finally recommended we dump everything and reload windows. Tommy had considered that, but we don't have our initial startup disk along so we decided to do it when we get home to LA. Meanwhile, I was reading a forum on McAfee about similar problems and how folks had fixed them and came across something that made sense. We went into files and folders and discovered a program that began on the fateful day we noticed the virus. It had lots of letters and numbers that didn't spell anything and looked very suspicious. I immediately deleted it, restarted the computer and haven't seen hide nor hair of the pop-up since! Man, sometimes I'm too lucky for my shirt! I hope I didn't just shoot myself in the foot by saying it was gone. What an annoying little monster it was!
Not much of a plan here today but his DS and neices are joining us to cook-out and campfire later today. The girls are 4th and 5th grade and energy abounds. I'll need to rest up most of the day to prepare. I hope all you worker bees are having a good day, and it passes quickly for you. And you road warriors, travel safe and enjoy the scenery. I'm off to see whatcha all been up to.
BTW, Barb. I love the title of today's post. In my neck of the north we "waited for" events and such. "Waiting on" someone was taking them their meal. What gives, girlfriend? Has that southern hubby of yours gone and converted you after all???
