...What's to drink tonight?

I'm having some burbon!![Beer]

[Irving]

I'm having some serious spy ware problems. I clicked on a link from a site that doesn't mess with the computer, and I instantly got a bad bug. This one sucks balls and is tough. Hopefully I can have it off by tonight.

Otherwise, some Rum and coke sounds nice.

That blows donkey!! Have you tried pestpatrol or adaware?

[hip55]

I would download both AdAware and Spybot to rid yourself of the spyware.

Also clear al of your cookies, and disable 3rd party cookies- they are the no 1 source of spyware.

Stay away from the porn, dude.[ROFL1]

Seriously, if you can't fix it tonight, hit me up and I'll give you a hand with it(the computer NOT looking at porn)

[refryguy]

Best program out there for spyware is Malware Bytes. Go to malwarebytes.org and download the free version. It will pretty much get rid of anything.

[Irving]

It is a program that pretends to be a spyware, so any time you open something up, it pops up and says it is spam. I already have Malwarebytes but I can't get it to run. I've already googled the bug and have some instructions of how to get rid of it (basically run malwarebytes) but malware won't even run. Can I down load Malware onto a flash card and then run it from the flash card instead?

It sucks because my lady always visits D listed, which is like a celebrity gossip site. D Listed is pretty solid and has never caused a problem. She told me to look at a picture and left the room. I sat down, didn't know what she wanted me to see, clicked a link that website suggested and...instant problems. So frustrating.

[refryguy]

Start your PC in safe mode then run Malware Bytes.

[Irving]

Which button to I push during start up to get to safemode again? I've been pushing F8, but that only gets me to the screen that gives me the option to reboot with the last safe copy of windows. Thanks for all the help guys.

I recommend Kaspersky

F8 should give you the option. If not try F10. Otherwise if you are on XP go to Start > Run > and type "MSCONFIG" on the BOOT.INI tab select safe mode and restart.

For Vista F8 should work too, otherwise go the the Start button and in the Search bar type "MSCONFIG" and follow the same steps.

[Irving]

Thanks so much guys. I can't wait to get back home and fix this. I haven't slept all night though, so I'll probably just sleep and do it Saturday.

It is Friday and another beautiful day in Colorado.

Get outside and play if only for a little while.

[Tim K]

Getting this thread back on track...

Macallan 12yr old scotch and and El Ray del Mundo cigar...probably. If not, it'll be a bottle of Menagie Trois (a fantastic fruity red that's very affordable) and the same cigar. Can't wait!

(Also - a good shop for cigars... good deals)

Just a beer or two for me tonight ... have an early shoot tomorrow...

[refryguy]

Morgans Spiced Rum and Cranberry Juice and shots of Jaeger!

[cowboykjohnson]

Stuart - " I already have Malwarebytes but I can't get it to run. I've already googled the bug and have some instructions of how to get rid of it (basically run malwarebytes) but malware won't even run. Can I down load Malware onto a flash card and then run it from the flash card instead? "

Re-name the MalwareBytes executeable (mbam-setup.exe) to something different, this has to be done when the file is being downloaded. When you attempt to re-download mbam-setup.exe, rename it anything else when you are prompted to save the file to you machine. The Trojan is locking to block mbam-setup.exe, so if the same program is name for example "test.exe" it should run without issue.

Remember the first one is free...

PS: without seeing the machine i am guessing that this is Windows Antivirus 2009 (trojan) or related

Pedro

IT guy and shooter and White Russian drinker (caucasian)

[Irving]

Yeah, it is the XP Antivirus one. Same thing as the Vista and Windows one. I looked it up this morning. Thanks again for the additional help.

[Delfuego]

Let me know if you need more help, this is what I do for work. I had to fix a few of these last fall and had good results.

[Irving]

Thanks, I've had pretty good success with going to like noobie.com and stuff. This is the first time I've had a serious bug in many years. I might have some questions about how to rename the file, but we'll see how it goes tonight.


I like the occasional cigar, but I smoke mostly "beginner" cigars. I'm a big fan of sugar tipped Acid cigars, and really like the more natural stuff from parent company Drew Estate (they make Acids). Actually, I prefer the Juicy Lucy and Root from Drew Estate, and have had relatively good results from Cuban Rejects. I like to go in and just ask what they sell the most of, and it is also pretty close to the cheapest.

However, I have tobacco pipes, and not only are they 100 times more smooth and less harsh than cigars, but the smoke smells 100 times better as well. I can smoke a pipe in my non-smoking living room, and the next day, the room just smells like cherries or whatever flavor. If I do that with a cigar, the whole place smells like nasty smoke for three days. I'm currently out of all of my nicer, house blend tobacco. I just have some Captain Black Light right now. I have a full bag of Borkum Riff, but every time I try it, I always get a bag of dry crap that ends up smelling just like cigarettes.

In general, Windows may be able to help you with unwanted changes on your system. Try:

START-> Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> System Restore

Make sure "Restore my computer to an earlier time" is the selected task

Click "Next" down below

Click on a date on the calendar when things were running good (has to be bold faced)

Click "Next" down below and follow through with the restart.

This should help with your latest snag. Just be sure you have system restore points (that's boldfaced dates on the calendar for you losers like Stuart) established as free insurance against time-comsuming hunting trips for malware

[Delfuego]

Don't use System Restore. It will not be able to remove the Trojan and will only complicate the process. In fact the system restore should be shut off and the restore point deleted, or the Trojan may return......

[jason303]

Maybe it's ok for lesser threats/issues? I've had good luck with it, but I'll defer to you if you have the knowledge.

[Irving]

Look at his avatar. It's Jesus, how can you NOT defer to him?

You know, I've been reading the Bible since last June, and I haven't run into Jesus yet! I guess he doesn't show up until the new testament.

[Delfuego]

It can help with the minor problems, but with Trojans you have to be proactive. System restore can also save the Trojan in the restore point, which will cause the trojan/virus to continue to be detected. Once completely cleaned, the System Restore can be safely reactivated.

Not Jesus.... The Dude! Your Dude-ness or El Dudereno if you not into the whole brevity thing.

Box-O-Wine
My sister is a big fan of this, she prefers to call it wine ina bag ina box.

[ChunkyMonkey]

I have the house to myself til next Sunday. OMG!!

[Mtn.man]

The whin'n bag in the box....

once they drink it they are usually in the bag....

[Troublco]

Tonight, same as last night: Shiner Bock.

The previous nights this week were all Heineken. So it was time to change.

[Irving]

All this talk about free beer and no wonder. You didn't tell us it was TERRIBLE free beer. Makes more sense now.

[Troublco]

Whatchou talkin' bout, Irving?

I like Heineken just fine. And I like Shiner Bock. I could've had Corona, but I don't care for Corona all that much when there's something better available. And the limes don't help it enough.

The other options were Bud, Bud Light, Coors Light, and Miller Light. Which really weren't options at all!

I'll take free Heineken and Shiner Bock anytime. I will say that if Easy Street Wheat had been a choice, there would have been no choice at all!

Or Shock Top, for that matter........

You just go back to whatever non-free beer it is you're drinking, and I'll go back to my free beer.[Beer]

[Irving]

I'd take Corona over Heineken, but would probably go any of the other four listed over Corona. I also have to have lime in Corona. I've never done well with beers in green bottles. I know I've had Shiner Bock, but I don't remember how I rated it.

[SU405]

I never really liked Corona too much. Too skunky. If you like Corona you would probably like a beer called Tsingtao it reminded me of Corona.

[Troublco]

Amazing. You can post for this, but you couldn't do three lousy posts last night.

And if you'll take Bud, or any of the aforementioned light beers over Corona or Heineken, it's obvious what the problem is. You have NO TASTE!

[ROFL1]

[Irving]

I like darker beers. I can't do Pale Ale at all. I think people that like Pale Ales like the stuff like Heineken and Red Stripe. I'll just have to trust that stuff is good for those who can stomach it, because I can't.

[Troublco]

I've had Tsingtao before. It's not bad, but it isn't in my top 10.

Tuborg is another one I really like. (I really liked it each time I was TDY to Turkey! Whheeeeeewwwwwwwww! By the way, never mix drinking Tuborg and Raki (Turkish equivalent to Ouzo). It will flat put you down! Don't ask me how I know, mostly because most of my memories of that time I got later in story form from friends 'cause I couldn't remember!

[Troublco]

I like darker beers. I can't do Pale Ale at all. I think people that like Pale Ales like the stuff like Heineken and Red Stripe. I'll just have to trust that stuff is good for those who can stomach it, because I can't.

It depends on which one for me. And Heineken and Red Stripe aren't all that similar any more than a Belgian White is similar to Budweiser. Same thing goes with Dark Beers though, just because they're dark doesn't mean they taste the same. I don't do Guiness, because to me it tastes too much like Coffee. I even had one in Ireland once to see if they were better there, and I didn't care for it. They did have Boddington's, and Bass, and Harp. So I was good....

[Hoosier]

Anyone else a Newcastle Brown Ale fan? The one and only!

[Troublco]

Newcastle's is good!

[Mtn.man]

Dead Guy Ale, Presidential Reserve, Dogfish head beer,
a few good tasting rather pricey beers but they pack a punch at 11% +.

[Irving]

Yep, Newcastle, Honeybrown, etc.

[twitchyfinger]

+1 on the dark beers.

I like stouts an porters. Sam Smiths Oatmeal Stout is my favorite along with Redhook's blackhook porter Also have a fondness to Johnnie Walker Black Label and crown Royal. Of course I never turn down some really good Moonshine if it ever run across some. Yummy!

[Mtn.man]

My Dad has a place in Tennessee, he gets some real good shine from time to time, however it usually lasts me 10 years or so cause just screwing the top off the mason jar and taking a small sip is all you need,,,...

[Irving]

Hey guys. I made it home without falling asleep. I got the computer into safemode and it is running malwarebytes right now. I should be able to get everything cleared up. Even though I haven't had a virus in years, maybe I'll start running mu browser through sandboxie just in case. Thanks so much for the help. I'm posting from my Wii right now. :)

[jerrymrc]

For Medical reasons I have basically stopped drinking. But every couple of weeks I like a beer or a drink. Having lived in Belgium for 3-1/2 years there are a few that I like. Duvel is one of my favorites along with the red and white top Chimay depending on if I want a light or dark beer.

Tonight though it is pure rot gut Belgian. Stella Artois to the rescue. Of all the good beers in Belgium they import this stuff. Oh, well. better than that billy beer crap that's called Heineken.

Back then Heineken was $2.50 a case. but then so was a carton of Kools.

[KevDen2005]

I am only starting my Thursday

You may have your Stella Artois; I will stick with Hoegaarden White Ale or, failing that, Shock Top.

And free Heineken is still light years better than free Bud, Bud light, Coors light, or Miller light. You couldn't pay me to drink that stuff.

Back to my Shiner Bock!

[jason303]

No beer tonight, but the next best thing. Deep fried chicken & chips.

Thanks to Jesus-dude for clarifying the system restore thing a bit. If I run into this kind of problem, I'll know better.

I haven't seen anyone mention Warsteiner original yet. It's more real deal than my chicken dinner.

I love Sam Smith's oatmeat stout! Watney's cream stout is good too.

[sabot_round]

And another burbon!!

[Irving]

I think the man rule is that you are only allowed to complain about the temperature of free beer, but not the brand or flavor. I'd drink free Heineken all night over water.
