I put this in a topic I posted called "Just a Couple of Quick Notes" but in the title obviously doesn't mention this and I think you guys should know about this.

I don't know if this concerns anybody but I started having problems with my computer. I was on the internet today and all of a sudden "AntiVirus 2010" appeared saying I had problems with my computer. It said that I had 41 problems with my computer. Anyway, I called Comcast because I have a cable modem and as of right now getting it fixed. I have the McAfee Security System through Comcast and now getting it fixed.
I'm just saying if you guys had or having problems that might be it. This could happen because I guess it's a new virus. Just wanted to give people a heads up.

I'm seeing the same thing. With one of the pop-ups, no matter what I click, whether it is "no", "later" or even the little "X" in the upper right hand corner, it acts like I had clicked the "yes".

It seems to me that someone had once advised me of two buttons I could simultaneously depress that would safely close my top window, even if it was a pop-up, but I don't remember which pair it was. Does anyone know of a way to close a pop-up window safely?

My desktop PC now will not let me open my AOL. I get some kind of "DLL", "System 32" error notice. I went to Best Buy to have their Geek Squad remove the virus and/or repair the programs, but then I had the bright idea of having the files I needed just copied onto a new laptop that I bought that day, but the Geek who worked on it didn't install the copied files correctly so I still don't have acces to my saved E-mails.

Now I see that the hard drive on the new laptop spins constantly, making me suspect that I have let in another virus.

those buttons are ALT and F4. One thing you guys should notice. when you use a search engine like google, look at the results and you'll notice that under each result a few will say anitvirus2009 or something like that in the address indicated.


here is an example:
Pioneer PDM 426: Compare Prices, View Price History and Read ...

Pioneer PDM 426 - pdm426 - 2 Sellers Found - Lowest Price: $149.99 - CD Changer, CD Player - 6 Discs - Output(s): Analog, Digital.
security-antivirus.com - 32k - Cached - [ame="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=related:security-antivirus.com"]Similar pages[/ame]

I bold the web address that link will take me. I did a search on a pioneer cd player model pdm 426 and a couple of the results included that address. you click on that and boom! you just let that virus in. always look before you click.the best way to prevent this when you're using a search engine like google is to sign up and open a free account with them. once you do that and sign in,most of these bogus links to fake websites will be filtered.

That is the only changer I ever had that truly never once repeated a track when on "random". Plus the magazine format is far superior to the carousel. :up

Mets, sorry to hijack your very important thread, dude. I'm sorry you had this incident and I thank you for passing it along. FYI, I heard a guy-in-the-know talking about 2009 and viruses on NBC today. He said he expects it to be a very bad year for this kind of stuff. So, thanks for starting us off with an actual event that should make us all aware.;)

This is part of the reason I went to MAC. No silly viruses to worry about anymore... :cool:

I don't get viruses, I scan everything I download, i don't do "Illegal downloads" with P2P or Torrents and I use AVG safe search with Google and Thunderbird.

Now that I wrote this my daughter will probably download something.:eek:

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
