OT: Virus warning from UPS
Q
Comments (1)
Hello, I just wanted to also add a comment on this one because my boss had his computer hit by this same thing on Thursday and before it was fixed it took over his complete system. It was saying there were 572 viruses in his computer. He had to contact our local computer company and have a tech to come out to remove the viruses. It took the tech about 6 hours to rid his system of the so-called ANTI-VIRUS bug. So it is not only in emails that state they are from UPS. My boss said he only opened an email that was supposedly from a Military Forum. Guess nothing is safe to open anymore! Jackie

Plum Pox Virus Warning
Q

Scott, I am sure there are quarantine areas set up like gestapo checkpoints! This plum pox is devastating to the prunus species. Not only is it spread by penetrating/sucking insects like aphids, but pollen is infected as well. A honey bee might sip a little nectar, getting the pollen on him, then hit your pride and joy peach or plum right before going to his hive. Then you see your tree start declining with odd stuff going on with the leaves and fruit. Makes fruit downright unmarketable. If the wind is blowing good enough, I could see that as a method of PPV dispersal as well. Pollen is pretty light stuff. I am not sure just how well the Penn quarantine really worked, as the foci of PPV was initially in just one area, and now it looks like 8 total districts/townships have had involvement, just in Penn. We really cannot afford to have this disease within our borders. Supposedly, the Penn PPV arose from somebody who had merely brought back some plum pits from Europe. They grew the pits, they were infected, and the rest is history.

Ask David to check your virus protector. He put AVG something on my laptop and we have it on the pc, too...it's free. We don't have near the problems we used to have. mom

None here either. Try a system restore to a time before you got the problem.

Not on mine. But, I use NOSCRIPT and AdBlock Plus with Firefox to block ads and stop some of java scripts that run and are go active when opening pages. I think helps a lot and reviews of these two are good. Sometimes with No Script (particularly with vids) I have to tell it to allow so I can view and that can be bothersome, but I don't trust these sites to stay on top of advertisers and viruses from getting hacked.

Check link below.

People on the daylily forum are talking about virus warnings with their AVG as well. I believe it has something to do with the advertising on this site. I'd let the administrators know of the problem. I don't have AVG so I'm not getting the warnings.

Yes,I am getting virus warnings on my AVG with this site every time I look at a different post. I don't get it anywhere else on the internet. I guess it must be time to leave the hosta forum! Phil

I got no warnings, no problems. I have McAfee virus protection, and just ran Spysweeper, have no viruses and no spyware.
