Warning Net54's hacking problem

[collectbaseball]

I'm always up for a good conspiracy theory, but it looks to me like it's a problem on your end. Suggestions:

1. Try re-installing Internet Explorer.
2. Switch from using IE to Firefox as your internet browser. It is free, and generally regrded as better and more secure than Internet Explorer. You can see a list of security features, as well as the download page, here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/features/#security
3. Run some anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-adware programs on your computer. Suggestions for free programs that can do this (some do different things than others, some features overlap):
Spybot Search and Destroy (What it does)
Lavasoft's Ad-Aware
CCleaner (What it does)
Avast Anti-Virus (What it does)

Note that depending on what you have running, doubling up may not be a good idea (for example, if you have McAfee or Norton running then you probably shouldn't run Avast as well... multiple antivirus programs can conflict with each other). I especially like Spybot S&D and CCleaner. They're great programs and can often get rid of a ton of crap bogging down the performance of your computer. I'm unsure if any of these suggestions will solve your exact problem, but I would recommend all of that to any internet user. Unless you have done all of the above I would hesitate to make the accusation that Leon et al are huddled together in some server room monitoring your keystrokes. I imagine they have better things to be doing. If you don't mind me asking, what is the name of the anti-keylogger software you are using? I imagine that some of the alternatives I listed above would be more effective in preventing your computer from being infected by malware.

David- did you happen to notice David Crosby playing with Buffalo Springfield in that video? He of course was not a member of that band, but played with them at the Monterey Pop Festival...a little rock music trivia.

[Rob D.]

So what you're saying is David Crosby hacked into Net54?

[barrysloate]

Are you saying that David Crosby is a hack?

"So what you're saying is David Crosby hacked into Net54?"
Into your life it will creep.

Barry: David Crosby, indeed. Missed him on the first take. Maybe subbing for Neil Young. Hey, good thing we weren't into tattoos bigtime back then. Can you imagine how gross we'd look now?

[barrysloate]

I think Neil Young did miss Monterey. But the guy with the painted head was there, for sure. So was Brian Jones.

I would add Malwarebytes to that list.
