Shortly after I had a virus planted in my computer. Time needed to reformat, reinstall software, and get back on the internet: about 1-2 hours.

So he gave me another used computer with a new OS. In which case it would simply be a matter of erasing everything and reinstalling all the software. Another $300. Never done it.

Actually that first part isn’t entirely true. Originally Posted by Harold14370 Why did it take you 72 days to fix your computer and why did you need to create a new user name?

Because during that time, I had to have my old computer that had its W98 SE OS detroyed.I took it to my vender who replaced it with another conputer and updated OS. Something like 450 different courses.Can you touch your toes? Can you do the snake? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Up2Mnq7JSM Wow! You play disc golf. Or maybe 1-2 days and $50 if you have to pay someone to do it for you. Mike, Mike, Mike. If they hack your motherboard’s BIOS, they can instruct the CPU fan to turn itself off, and other unpleasantries. Later, a ‘blockade’ of my internet explorer was inserted.

Well at any rate, welcome back. So, in spite of this, I still have/had problems getting back on since a blockade of the IE was still sporadically giving me problems. And it is nothing but a ‘glorified version of W98 SE. They may be important in our lives, but your take on them is not.

If someone from a computer store told you that you needed a new computer because of “hacker” activities, you were almost certainly scammed. Another $60.And the frustration of it all was a real nuisance.

If someone from a computer store told you that you needed a new computer because of “hacker” activities, you were almost certainly scammed. I’m still kind of wondering how you know a “hacker” was even involved as opposed to say, picking up a virus surfing porn. Originally Posted by Neutrino Well at any rate, welcome back. At worst, a hacker might destroy all the data on your hard drive. I do have spyware system.My hard drive was replaced with the computer.I was using Firefox for a while with AOL but then AOL started to bill me double. How do you know it was a “professional” hacker? However at about the same time he dropped off, I was hacked as well and frankly think I could give you a name. This post was rated ‘5 star’ on another forum.See this post in politics subject matteMike C. It’s what you don’t do that keeps you living longer. I decided to buy Windows XP Home Ed and the update.

There’s nothing a hacker could do that would make you need to replace your computer. IMO he/she enters via a method, which THIS forum does not offer however. You’ll find however that there are contenders now whose nuttery far exceeds your own. Originally Posted by Mike C The computer replacement cost me $225. We are a group of buddies sitting round, shooting the breeze, talking and arguing for the benefits and pleasures that brings. Now if Mega, would check in on occasion, my week will have been made. who? Time needed to reformat, reinstall software, and get back on the internet: about 1-2 hours. You are surmising it was a professional hacker.2.

If you call the Laws of Conservation of Matter and Enery nuttery, than you should REthink your science.Likewise for the M-M interferometry experiments and the Arp Redshift Anomalies as well as the NASA observations that I cite as my sources for my posts, than rethink your science.Mike C Instead of exercise try fasting and avoiding harmful substances. I was looking for my OS to display as it always had, but it did not, so that was the end of my OS. About 72 days ?

Why did it take you 72 days to fix your computer and why did you need to create a new user name? When I complained, they stopped but the hassle was a nuisance. At worst, a hacker might destroy all the data on your hard drive. My printer had to be replaced.

There’s nothing a hacker could do that would make you need to replace your computer. A skillfull enough hacker could (in theory, but I’ve never seen it done) hack into the hardware and instruct things like your hard drive or a CD ROM to do something that breaks it. In which case it would simply be a matter of erasing everything and reinstalling all the software. That was about 2 years ago. The vender that I bought the computer from is an expert since he builds computers and installs OS’s.He said my hard drive was wiped out. Or is there more to the story here? In which case it would simply be a matter of erasing everything and reinstalling all the software.

And……yes…….. your BIOS can be hacked. During all this time, I have had problems with these viruses and hackers.Today, I have a ‘LIVE’ hacker’ monitoring and giving me problems.So I decided I would post an article on the ‘Evils of Capitalism’.

This is not the same as it being important. On this forum we aren’t doing anything earthshattering. I still have no explanation for the double billing or the connection with Firefox? There’s nothing a hacker could do that would make you need to replace your computer. Along the way I hope we all learn something, both of science and humanity, but we’re not creating paradigm shifts in the population at large, nor challenging the status quo.

You are assuming that this indicates an interest in what you are posting.3. I’m guessing your still using your very narrow philosophy essay writing service
and flawed opinion of what “exercise” is right?I mean you start out the the denigrating and frankly false “pounding away on a treadmill” comment and then go on to list anecdotal single people as if they are statistically relevant. At worst, a hacker might destroy all the data on your hard drive. All the people I’ve known that have lived into their 90’s and even one that lived to 100 never did any extreme exercise, but they kept the calories down.

The hacker is not all that bright either and keeping your files/cookies cleaned up, will generally keep at bay. I was knocked off the internet for about 72 days because my computer was HACKED by a professional hacher.Finally got back on this site with a new user name. But I do play real golf.

The computer replacement cost me $225. You are a lovely guy and I for one am delighted to see you back on the forum, but if you truly believe your posts are important I am very much afraid you are delusional. At most it indicates that said hacker believes it to be important.

Having followed Mike’s, views on Science for well over a year on more than one forum; I can say he is NOT particularly computer literate.
