    Need info. from one of you computer experts

    Okay, here's the deal. Our office has Roadrunner with connections for up to eight computers. We currently have four computers on. One of the computers just got a virus. The office manager is convinced that the virus came in from one of the other computers because they have all kinds of "protection" on that particular computer. I run a weekly virus scan and spyware check and very rarely have any problems at all. I never use the Roadrunner email system. I have the line plugged into my computer and use Internet Explorer or AOL. Is there any way that my computer could have infected another computer on the Roadrunner system? If not, how can I explain this to my office mananger?

    First, you need to delete all the porn you've been downloading. Someone else can take it from here.

    That's not it my boy. The worst thing I've looked at is "The best thread ever"...is that enough to infect my network?

    First off, there is NO SUCH THING as a 100% virus free network. Most EVERY computer has a virus some malicious, some not. Best thing to do is see if your virus protection software can either remove the virus or quaruntine it.

    I may add more later, but i'm tired and don't much give a hoot.

    After thinking about this some more, she is suggesting that the virus that infected her computer came through some email I read or site I visited, didn't infect my computer, but went to her computer and infected it. Doesn't make sense to me.

    What virus is she saying that she's infected with?? To tell you the truth, i've had a few, but I've never been good enough to find out where I get them. Just guesses.

    Sounds to me that your her scapegoat.

    Do you think she looks at Indian Insider too much? Oops . . is that still their website name or has it changed to Inside a Warthog? Help me out here Choudawg.

    Did you use to live in West Monroe and have a pet pig?

    Since Doc seems to be the only one who is willing to share information here, I'll explain about the "pet pig" thing to him. I think that was before his time here on BBB. Also, it wasn't West Monroe, it was West Ouachita, near where Dawgpix lives.

    Doc, you may remember the story of PeePie. The pet pig met his untimely demise when it's owner killed him with a deadly weapon.

    MD, it is most unfortunate the media put a West Monroe datelline on that story. Woodlawn is nowhere near Brownville. (6 miles!).
