I ran into something like that a few weeks, ago, that is a “trojan?” that attaches and uses a pop-up to try to get you to purchase anti-spyware that will add more to your machine.  I searched products on google and came up with something called “Super anti-spyware” that has a free version and worked to remove it- in fact I love the product.  It took care of what Norton and and Trend Micro’s “house call” did not.

 I downloaded the free software of Super anti spyware and ran it a few times to no avail, but after a few days it “updates” trying to sell you the paid version for 19 bucks in the process.  Just click “no”, and when it updated and ran it wiped out the problems of pop-ups that I was having.

 In fact, I like the product so well so far, I am seriously considering buying the paid version since it might work “real-time.”………….for 19 bucks.  If memory serves, I think what was causing the problem was something attached to whatever an “Hkey file” is.  I know that SAS took about 4 things called trojans off, including a couple of “trojan loaders.”

 Hope that helps so you don’t have to reinstall.  I was at that stage of thought, myself.

I got the link off a PC users board……………for those that “repair” computers.

LOL!  That looks like presidential material to me. 

A question!! Why, if the junior/explorer shares are beaten into submission and nobody is buying them or even interested in them, has the volume increased steadily for the last several years????

Also, why has there been a steady accumulation(as opposed to distribution) if nobody wants them???

My answer is that for whatever reason, “some entity” has been (naked) shorting these shares tic for tic while they and their cohorts accumulate them.

My fond hope is that the increased volume is about to overwhelm these shorts and cause the greatest run up in junior/explorer history.

I’M HOLDING!!!!

Precious-Coin Market
May Lose Its Luster

Gold’s Volatility,
ETFs Offer Reason
To Invest Elsewhere

The gyrations in gold prices have upended the market for precious coins just as a lot of new investors have rushed in.

Coin sales surged for most of the last year as the price of gold and silver shot up. Buyers view coins as a way to hoard wealth and protect against uncertainty. And they are less bulky than a barrel of crude oil and more affordable than a gold bar. …………..

An I.T. guy clued me in about this one:

Bought it. They have a free trial period. Beautiful Program — Works fine.

I don’t think you have to over write Windows, just ‘Root’ the virus sucker out.
Soee, who IS an IT guy, probably will have how to info about the do’s & do not’s for reloading windows.

Can a simple reinstall or over write be done without losing all the stuff (bookmarks, photos, memos etc)?

This chart should make your day. I used a line chart as there are alot of small gaps that make the chart hard to analyze. Just remember its all relative, but we have to start somewhere.

William Engdah has a editorial out today, where he argues that the price of oil is 60% spec. due to the proliferation of OTC oil derivatives.

www.financialsense.com/editorials/engdahl/2008/0502.html

Seeing that there is huge world wide $ demand to purchase oil worldwide, what would happen to the value of the dollar if oil was priced at its real value of $48.

Wouldnt peak oil be a convenient scape goat for high oil prices. Yeah I know Matt Simmons is a chief proponent of peak oil and that he has called the rise of oil prices, while everyone else has been expecting lower prices. Maybe its the tin foil hat I’m wearing, but isnt he also a member of the council of foriegn relations! You gotta wonder how this is all going to end!

I think it most likely that the plainclothes guys were in there in anticipation of trouble from the May Day march.  These sorts of incidents are not unknown around here.

Your “paranoid scenario” is certainly not out of the range of possibilities IMO.  In desparate times people take desparate measures…

“Banks stink”  LOL  I’ll second that notion! 

this weekend, and to focus instead on the fibonacci and golden number patterns in Equisetum (see guide at 5:43:00, 02 May 08, on jsmineset).  Cheers.  Equiz.

What I find interesting about that tale is that there ‘happened’ to be some plain clothes cops just hanging around inside the bank.
What was their assignment? To be there because of potential May Day trouble, or are they there regularly to see who brings in and takes out what?

My personal paranoid scenario is that one morning we will awaken to a ‘Financial Emergency’ and find that ALL financial institutions, healthy as well as sick, have been closed. When they reopen, we will find that withdrawls may be made in a new currency, and bills that were kept in the ‘Bank of Sealy’ are now illegal for use.

As Harry Schultz used to write - “Banks Stink”.

When I see things that can’t be…..and yet they are, I sometimes feel like I’m the one that is crazey. That by the way, is not beyond the realm of reason. HA
