re: pop up message

17 years ago

I keep getting a pop up that reads " Your search settings have been restored to their default settings . " At the top are the words Search Settings Notification. I use Firefox as my browser. This really concerns me. I did get a virus the other day that AVG " caught and healed ". It was called Trojan Horse Backdoor.Ircbot.JAO. What does this mean? Thank you for your help.

Well if you do not have either Malwarebytes (stay with the free version download). Or Superantispyware you should download one or both. Install, update and run the full scan, not the short scan.

oh come on now! She must've been smokin something. I've seen lots of deer lately on the side of the road and they ignore my car and keep eating except for the babies. We have coyotes and recently spotted Black bear. There are a few deer that cross over each evening from one side of the road to the other every night. They killed one baby oak a couple years ago, but there is so much other land around they moved on, thank goodness. In the summer the dogs would announce their arrival by the neighbors pond before the deer crossed the road as it started to get dark.

4th, 5th, and 7th gets my vote, flower wise. They are all beautiful though. I also have a Charisma X Ludwig's Dazzler seedling that is putting out a scape...finally! Took me almost 4 years here in my growing conditions. Ughhhh! It is one of my 2006 seedlings that I decided to keep as I gave away most of my older "newbie cross" seedlings. With all that loving and caring and patience I poured in these seedlings, I bet it will be the "most beautiful flower" in my eyes once it's flower opens. LOL!!! As Carl has stated in his post, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". I kinda like full formed flowers,overlapping petals with good "wings" and colors (if more than one) that blends in a nice way. Of course the #1 category that I look into a Hippie is it's vigor as a whole plant. The flowers comes next. CHARISMA is a very good mother!!! My oldest Charisma, mother of the above mentioned seedling, waaaayyyy back in 2006.

After all the good things I had heard about avast! and all the hoops I had to jump through to get it, I didn't expect this kind of stuff. Owbist, I'll do just that: ignore it. Sue, I remember when you posted about that. I guess they all major in SNEAKY. Thanks. Sue

IF you got that backdoor infection you really need to go to this help forum, register, start a new post in this area, and tell them what was found and go through a thorough look at your system to make sure everything is gone. And I would not trust the pc for any type of banking or buying. I would also make sure to change all passwords.
Having a backdoor infection on the pc is quite serious.
