I think that we should temporarily suspend the site rules on this one occasion (for a regular user) and ask you Cat, to post the URL of your website so that we can all visit it and recommend you to our friends and contacts.
No problem Lambers.
I just hope that Norton – Symantec / McAfee etc have hundreds of JustChat users dialling in to ‘Live Update’ to get the latest set of anti virus definitions downloaded and installed ASAP.

Thank you for the very clear response PB.
Let this be a lesson to you too …. Do not post under the heading “Please take this very seriously indeed” unless you are very serious indeed …. Remember the little boy who cried “wolf”! :lol: :wink:
I am not quite sure what you mean by your reply. I posted this thread in a way that was clearly serious with a clearly serious title.
My response “Please take this very seriously indeed” was a reply to your comment “I have no idea if this thread should be taken seriously or not……..” and was intended to indicate that I was being totally straight on this occasion with the clear intent of providing helpful information to all of our users.
For the avoidance of any residual doubt – I am being absolutely serious on this subject.

There’d be no female chatters left.
(They’d all be banned for not cybering her!!)
Besides, who’d be left for PB to perv on if ChatGuideMICH took all the women???
Look ‘Red Bum’ there have to be some perks to this job OK?

”…. but ……… Something I have been wondering about for a while, and this seems as good an opportunity as any to put my mind at rest :lol:
Assuming I receive an e-mail containing a virus, does previewing it (I use Incredimail) has the same effect as me opening it? :?
Lambers – this is a bit difficult to answer simply.
There ARE some ‘files’ that are able to ‘open’ when you preview e-mails. (Using the preview pane in MS Outlook for example can under certain circumstances do this). However, generally (but not always) previewing an e-mail will not open an attachment that contains a virus.
The most common route to infection is to click on an attachment to an e-mail and thereby ‘open’ it. This allows the little virus program to run and do its thing to your computer.
The writers of these virusus are usually extremely clever people, and disguise their nasty little viruses in a whole variety of different ways. Basically they all have one purpose in mind and that is to somehow get you to double click the attachment and open it – so allowing their virus programme to instal and run on your computer.
Most (but not all) viruses are received as attachments to e-mails from people that you may know already.
For example, if a friend of yours (who had your e-mail address saved in their ‘contacts’ folder) opened an attachment containing a virus, and got infected as a result, one of the things it may do is to send itself to ALL their contacts – including you – but without your friend either knowing about it or being able to stop it.
All you would see is an e-mail from somebody that you knew with an attachment. Naturally you open it and WHOOSH, you are infected in turn.
Most times (but again not always) the giveaway is the title or content of the e-mail or maybe the name of the attachment – but you cannot always rely on this.
The absolutely best way to keep your computer virus free is to instal a REPUTABLE make of anti virus software and above all KEEP IT REGULARLY UPDATED.
Remember that new ‘strains’ of virus are being released onto the internet almost daily so you must keep your anti virus definitions updated regularly to counter this. Minimum is weekly and personally I always recommend downloading updates at least twice a week.
Sad thing is – if they ever knew – they’d probably feel great about it. You know the sort of thing “Our loved ones’s liver went to the great George Best”. They might even get 5 minutes of fame in the tabloid newspapaers for a big fat cheque.
Bet they don’t stop to think that in reality it went into a drunken wife beater and allowed him a bit more time to carry on drinking himself to death and smashing up even more women.
Won’t be long now – just wait for all the obituaries to say how wonderful he was; all the footy fans to mourn his great talent etc etc; and all the hospital A & E departments to breathe a huge sigh of relief.
By my reckoning that’s about 16-20 pints of ale, and strong ale at that.
I can understand that Tommy, but frankly what I can’t forgive you for is the ”QUORN bacon rasher sandwich”.
I always thought you were a decent, God fearing, meat eating, Englishman – not some bloody left wing, tree hugging, do gooder, brown rice eating vegetarian / vegan who doesn’t even have the strength to wash themselves properly !!!!
You should be ashamed of yourself !!!
The ‘clickometer’ is fairly buzzing along thanks.
Keep it up with the handbags ladies !!!

Mention Christmas, and have you noticed that all the females start drivelling on about shopping etc etc !!!.
The male users, being far more intellectual, realise that it is still only November and that they have lots of better things to do with their time.
Christmas is just another excuse for females to spend money on useless frippery that nobody really wants or needs.
(Bah humbug !!!)
Oh shurrup grumpy!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Men are too lazy to shop (unless its the 24 hour garage on Xmas eve lol)and like the fact that us women take over. And if I waited for my bloke to cook the turkey we’d end up waiting till flipping February :lol:
Me Grumpy ???? Hmmmm. Look just because us men don’t make a second carreer of doing the shopping, doesn’t mean that we are deficient in the buying presents stakes.
It’s just that we are a hell of a lot more efficient than you female shopaholics. Whizzing round on Christmas Eve is a thoroughly good and efficient use of the time – and you can pick up some pretty cheap bargains too.
As for cooking Turkeys…… show me a woman that can boil an egg properly and I’ll show you a miracle. Anyway roast Duck or even a juicy rib of beef is way better than a Bernard Matthews cast off.
