Not sure I want to sign up with all that Jazz going on! please could you tell me more about the hot water Jeff, Luke

[Jeff Brimble]

Ahh I think your "jazz" means porn, the site gets spammed 24/7 and the spam gets put into the sin bin you have found. Its a spam magnet. rest of site is normal.

[Captain Scarlet]

Sorry if I sound boring but I just dont want to risk it, we had a computer ruined because of  "Jazz"!!!!!!

[Jeff Brimble]

Dont blame you, but its safe or I will replace your pc.

[Captain Scarlet]

thanks for the offer Jeff, but this computer was pricey. Its used for my dads other work so I cant risk it. I can easily reset a computer and restore all the old files with Forensic Linux Os's but its so much hastle! Even though I run the best firewall and anti virus we have lost a computer before ( well not a computer but a hard drive full of info and programs ) and everything was lost! Luke

just ignore the account activation bit of the site, all the rest is clean, thats the idea of it, it keep the rest of the site clean

[Jeff Brimble]

Whats a firewall ? sounds like It might be handy for seagull scmitt.

[matt]

oh also, you will see all external links are edited to include " check link is made by a known poster ",

it doesnt allow any activity between your computer or the internet or the internet and your computer that you dont want, just simple surfing without any pop ups etc etc. It also tells you when any program attempts to launch without you before hand allowing it, so no viruses can run. As soon as an unknown program runs it tells you and ask you if you want to allow it, if you know the programs name ( i.e. microsoft word ) then you allow the program to run, if you dont you can just tell it not to. But with programs you do know like Microsoft Word you can tick a box on the warning message so it doesnt ask you again if it should allow Microsoft Word to run, hope that explains it. Here is a link to a free one, dont be fooled by the fact its free, it has stopped us from having a virus in 7 years!!! Its called Zone Alarms, they can be a little tricky to figure out but if you read the help it should be ok, Luke
