Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 Norton antivirus has a live update option which is free for the first year and a very small subscription after that. Basically you can go online as often as you like for that year and it will automatically update all the antivirus definitions and protections for you. I do it at LEAST once a week. ever since my husband's partner's secretary inadvertently sent me the iloveyou bug last year on my laptop when I was in Israel and I thought, because I knew her, that whatever she sent me had to be OK. I cannot begin to tell you the damage that virus did to my system and how long it took me to get it straight again. Since then I have been paranoid about viruses and always very careful to keep my antivirus software up to date. Ruthie (That'll teach me to be too smug about how Sabbath went, Yeshaya was here in my room a while ago with Yitzi, playing on the other PC, and was just so apallingly rude to me that even Yitzi's jaw dropped a mile. He has refused to apologise and has gone out with Yitzi. I have locked my bedroom door now and am sitting here, a prisoner in my own room, but at least I feel I have my privacy.. the last two times I wanted to go to bed I had to almost throw Yeshaya out of my room and off my bed across he was lying horizontally to prevent me getting in. And that was when he *wasn't* being rude. Sorry to whinge, I needed to tell someone. I was just clearing up the kitchen in preparation for burying myself in my room, when who should walk in but Azariah. I thought OH NO. Azariah often times his visits when DH is out so that he can get me on my own and begin sawing away at me in some way or another, he picks fights and he knows just when I am alone and vulnerable. But I was in luck this time. I gave him some supper, then said " do you mind if I go upstairs? I am feeling a bit stressed and I need to be on my own for a while. " And Azariah said " whatever you wish. " And just now he buzzed me to offer to switch the dishwasher on for me. So that was a huge relief. I couldn't have coped with a confrontation with him tonight on top of everything else. Be thankful for small mercies eh! Yeshaya is still out, and when he comes back and finds my door locked, we will have a bit of a ding dong but I don't care. His entry to my bedroom for entertainment is a privilege not a right. Thanks for listening, and even if you didn't thanks for letting me offload.) Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother told my mother she was a cabbage (which she was not and it is a horrid thing to say even if true), but boy did he hate it when, piqued, she went and got a job and wasn't home cooking his tea. Must check Dante's Inferno and see if there is a ring of hell reserved for horrid teenage sons! >Be thankful for small mercies eh!

Well it won't be quite as loud through a door anyway :-) >Thanks for listening, and even if you didn't thanks for letting me >offload.) That's why I love email. I used to hate it before email when I had one of those 'need to talk to someone' times and ending up spending money on phone calls I could ill afford when I could hear the lack of interest at the other end. At least this way, even if no-one at all responds, there's been a delay so you've got it off your chest and quite probably feel a bit better already. -- jennifer@...

Apparently the reason he was so rude to me was, he thought I meant something I didn't mean when I spoke to Yitzi. Once he was convinced I hadn't meant it, he was mollified and readily apologised. It's all far too complicated to explain but...things seem back to normal at least for now! Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
