Spyware
Thu May 31 2001

In response to our note about Comet Cursor and Spyware we received an email from Serenity suggesting a site that can help remove it from your system.

The URL is: http://www.lavasoft.de/.

I haven't investigated it yet so you're on your own but I thought it would be helpful to pass it on - thanks to Serenity for the information!

Matt.

    Awwww, I couldn't read the article about Steve. The site was too busy! *pouts*

    Hey, just to let you know the full story (at least what I remember about it) on the 3-year old who got a credit card. The company sent the application to her. Her mother, after having a good chuckle, decided to see what would happen and went ahead and filled out the application. She even put her daughter's true birth date on the application. Apparently they didn't pay attention to it, because a week later her brand new credit card came in the mail with a $3000 balance.

    Want further proof on how stupid the credit card companies can be (or uncaring)? The year that my cousin would have turned 18 her parents started receiving their offers in the mail. My cousin had died at age 10. That's why I get a little pissy when anyone talks about credit cards as a means of verification for anything.

    Anyway, sorry you guys got so much flack. I'd drink a Bud for you, too, cept I hate Bud. How about a Killians Red?

    Hi folks--

    Just was wondering-- what's up with the comments? I have posted comments on other diaries, only to have them show up on my diary. Also have had them dissappear completely. Also, got a comment yesturday that showed up on today's entry. (weird.)

    What do you guys think?

    Thanks! :)
