I've yet to have a problem with Kaspersky though i also use Adaware and Spybot to make sure. I've heard good things about Malware Bytes but havn't tried it.

I use Malware Bytes. Very pleased with it. Also have Adaware and Spybot but Malware Bytes seems to be a bit more robust and comprehensive. Use CCleaner too.

That depends entirely on what was there that she had to clean up. [;)]

What did she find? [X(]

i'm not sure which was more disturbing - watching sweaty-vampire-speed sex scenes with mother-in-law in same room, or having her comment on Betty's "habits" while pregnant:

wife: "So Mom, did you smoke and drink while you were pregnant with me?"
mom-in-law: <silence>
wife: "Mom?"
mom-in-law: "Well, I'm trying to remember...let's see...definitely with your brothers...I think I stopped smoking with you."
me: <insert smart-ass comment here>
mom-in-law: "Oh, Kwik...you're so bad!" <laughter>
wife: <evil glare in my direction>
me: "Wow, look at the time...early day tomorrow, you know. G'night!"

If you were born in the 60s smoking and drinking were probably still considered good for your health . . . and if it's good for an adult's health it's gotta be twice as good for a fetus, right?

Our office uses Malware Bytes and Spybot. No problems so far.

sorry - Thread neophyte needs enlightenment here? i DO NOT want to upset The Thread...is this where people quote their log-in security text screen thingy? [&:]

[anarchyintheuk]

Nope, just a nasty nikademian subject line virus that must be attended to. Please see post #26941 to see its hideous effects.

Oh ! heck yeah ! My mother smoked those Victory Chesterfields all the time and I didn't turn out so bad .. well .. not really bad .. well .. ok .. but not quite as bad as Nik's new avatar.

I was born in the '59 and during the pregnancy my mom complained of being tired all day so the doc prescribed Dexedrine and she said she would be scrubbing toilets well into the night.&nbsp; I also chewed on lead paint, had a crib that I could fit my head thru the bars, stood up on the front seat while my parents were driving and drank water from a garden hose.&nbsp; Kids nowadays don't know how good they have it.&nbsp; Probably should cross-post this to the Geezer thread.

Mom's vices were Kents and Old-Fashioneds. I also think I grew up better than Nik's avatar. [;)]

Mom was just a girl working as a translater for Occupation Forces HQ in Wiesbaden before Dad lifted his Luger. Chesterfields was all she could get, that was all they had at the PX: all the Luckys got snagged by the Service Force troopers and sold on the black market. But still, Chesterfields were better than Berliner Juno, and a poopload better than that cigarillo stuff Opa brought back from Spain (hell, there's a story that will tweak your willie if you care to hear it).

[anarchyintheuk]

About the story . . . call me intrigued.

About the story . . . call me intrigued.

His name was Walter Tewes, just an ordinary middle class Lutheran Rhineland German, who married Frieda Maria (Omi) who was just an ordinary middle class Alsatian Catholic. But Opa was a sergeant in the reserve army, so like a good German, off he goes to Spain.

Well, he was shot and taken to the hospital in Valladolid. He recovered from the gunshot wound but contracted pneumonia. Not expected to live, he was dumped off the porch and left to his own devices.

So, he called on a vision of his Frieda and seeing her image, he got up and walked. He got up and walked all the way from frikkin Spain, through France, till he got home in frikkin Wiesbaden Germany. I only knew him when I was a youngster. If I had known him later, I would have written a frikkin book about what I now realize was a frikkin epic journey. And this was just an ordinary man trying to come home.

Opa died in 1962. He got home to his Frieda, and to their daughter Inge (my mother), and lived to tell the story to his grandchildren. I will always remember his face, and that special glint in his eye when he toasted through a glass of auslese.

Oh, God, If I could only go back. I never frikkin knew. The things he could have told me, the stuff he could have said. But perhaps, it’s best this way. I remember the man. And I think that’s enough

We never realise til it's too late that our grandads were once young too. My maternal grandad took part in the death march across north Germany in early '45 having spent the majority of WWII as a PoW. I only ever knew him as a gentle car mechanic.
