Problem with explorer
Never mind my last question, I just checked your headers and in doing so I
know you cannot answer that question with any proof because you are a troll. -- Too many Trolls in this NG bashing each other. The Information I post has been verified by me and is Authentic.

In article op.usycgdb2ftg7du@d9ns6561, says... # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 127.0.0.1 localhost Do you reckon I'm safe? Thanks. Yep, looks like you didn't download and run the one that does it. He has stated, many times, that he blocks access to several quality anti- malware sites. This is good news.

Jeffrey That revelation makes quite a difference G. Could you please post a complete copy of the Error Report in Event Viewer. You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important. Damndest thing. I'm set up as the Administrator, with all rights. When I try to start Event Viewer, I get "Access is Denied." When the error occurs, I'm told that some information is being sent to a file on my pc. But a search for that file turns up nothing. Arrrgghhh!!! |
