Yes I keep the MicroSoft Scammers going. After all they are paying the bill. Hit the little Flag and 'R' key at the same time Type in the box E-v-e-n-t-v-w-r Event Viewer and all that. I just act thick and concerned. What can you see..? Oh it all looks very complicated.. it's ok we will help you. Then when I get bored I tell them they are not Microsoft and they get very defensive.. At least if they are talking to me they are not scamming someone else. Worth 10 minutes of my time.

I've changed > my passwords out of caution. You were hit by the Scam. That is the point. If you responded in any way, you would then forward it to all your Contacts and they would in turn Foward it to all their contacts. That is how e-mails are spread to many recipients Very quickly. Most may be harmless unless you actually reply to the scammer. Then the real damage can begin. Email is the easiest was to spread Viruses. (I am not suggesting that you have been infected.) They are not Protected by your Firewall and are dependent on your email Junk Mail filters. If the mail appears to come from one of your contacts, they are not going to be in your 'Blocked Senders List' Like I said before. You do not need someones password to send them an email. You can send an email to anyone. Fox.

Javascript has a ' OnMouseOver ' Event. this means that Malicious Code can be Run just by placing your Mouse over a Picture or Text. It is used quite legitimatly be many sites but can be abused. DO NOT REPLY TO THE MAIL By replying you could place youself on the so called ' SUCKERS LIST ' and you could end up being flooded with scams. The mail was sent by a Machine, not a person. No one will ever read your return email. Any suspect email... Just Delete it. And delete it from your Deleted Folder in your mail. Fox

Hi Nero.. Sue is correct. Do not worry too much. It would seem to me that in your case you was hit by an e-mail 'Chain Letter' The problem was the 'Link' Clicking the link could activate the code to forward the mail to all of the users contacts. Just be very carefull clicking on any link. even if it appears to come from a friend. If it looks suspicious, do not click on it. email your friend and ask if they sent it to you. If not. Delete the mail. Fox

And if we mess up and put the wrong stuff in the wrong bin we could face hefty fines... I suspect Southwark Council will be out with their cameras and clip boards , waiting for people to transfer their food waste to their green bin for the thursday collection. Fox

Southwark council have been busy trying to organise a Drink up in a Beer Making Establishment.. They failed to do that also. Fox.

Changing your passwords is Not enough.. Once your account has been compromised, a smart hacker will immediately go in and change that email address to one that he has access to. That way, if you request a password reset, he'll get it, not you. Similarly, if you change the password, all the hacker has to do is request a password reset, and he'll regain access to the account. Read ?? Also.. you do not need someone p/w to send them Spam Mail with suspect code in. Fox.

Hi Nero.. Mail it would seem is very simple to hack... One common 'hack' ?? is that you recieve an e-mail that appears to come from yourself. Usually advertising cheap drugs or something similar. Although not dangerous in themsleves they are a nusciance. All e-mails contain 'Subject' , 'To' , 'From' The 'From' Field can contain anything. like.. Your email address. Adding The Sender to the Blocked Senders List will add your e-mail addressto Blocked Senders. Altough this does not stop further emails as you were not actually the real sender. and also does not seem to stop you sending mails to yourself.. You may need to add your e-mail to the Safe Users List Details Your problem is a little more complex. I cannot find details because if the details were published openly anyone would know how to hack someones mail account. I'm pretty sure anyone digging deep enough would find it. It will involve poss. Javascript being run when you open your mail. This script will read your Contacts List and forward the mail to them with you as the Sender. Any one of your Contacts will then have the same problem sending to their Contacts when they open it. Even Worse... There are devices on the market that can compromise your email while you are using Wi-Fi in your local bar/ cafe. Once your PC has been detected, your email will be locked and you will not even be able to close down the session as someone else has open..and has Total Control. All Very Scary... Fox

Specialising in Balti sounds very limited. I think all the other Indian restaurants do Balti.. There really is no call for yet another Indian Restaurant on Lordship Lane/ East Dulwich. Fox

One Tree Hill On 1 May 1602, Elizabeth I picnicked with Sir Richard Bulkeley of Beaumaris in the Lewisham area by an oak tree at the summit of a hill. The tree came to be known as the Oak of Honor. The tree surrounded by railings is an oak, and was planted c1905 and a successor to the historic one. Source:- Here. Fox

I worked in Telecoms. There were many Indian guys/girls there that would bring in wonderful food during Diwali for everone to enjoy. There were some Muslim people that would attend prayers on Friday. None of these people were offended by Christmas. They certainly took the Christmas leave if not on Rota. The local Indian Muslims have Christmas Trees in the Local Indian restaurants.. I do not think Chrstmas offens many people. Just Looney Councilors seem to think so. Or do they?? Fox.

Highly paid geniuses ?? sitting at a computerscreen with little maps and 'icon no entry signs' that they can move around, and create pretty little road layouts so they can justify their existance. Bit like computer war game where no one gets hurt. and if the cock it up, they can always change it and dig the road up yet again. They must be having a real laugh. Fox
