  1. I would try deleting it using the command prompt, but unless you have experience of it (and i dunno if you do), it may be a bit difficult to describe here.

     

    You need to go Start> Run > cmd

     

    This will probably give you a prompt along the lines of: C:\Documents and Settings\Name> (* see below)

     

    from where you can type:

     

    cd Desktop

     

    then press enter and type:

     

    del metal.dmsetup

     

    Then typing Yes when prompted.

     

    * If you dont initially arrive at C:\Documents and Settings\Name> then you can use

    cd foldername to change to a different folder.

    cd.. to go back a folder.

     

    All this will probably confuse you, and someone will probably post some fancy little program that will do all this for you, but i think it's useful to know.

  2. Here's a little something about a 'virus' called Good Times:

     

    Goodtimes will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but

    it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It

    will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice

    cream goes melty. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit

    cards, screw up the tracking on your television and use subspace field

    harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play.

     

    It will give your ex-girlfriend your new phone number. It

    will mix Kool-aid into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and

    leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming

    over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit

    pants and hide your car keys when you are late for work.

     

    Goodtimes will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will

    give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your

    gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your

    girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to

    your Discover card.

     

    It will seduce your grandmother. It does not matter if she

    is dead, such is the power of Goodtimes, it reaches out beyond the

    grave to sully those things we hold most dear.

     

    It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't

    find it. It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on

    your boss's voice mail in your voice! It is insidious and subtle. It

    is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather

    interesting shade of mauve.

     

    Goodtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the

    toilet seat up. It will make a batch of Methanphedime in your bathtub

    and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase

    gradeschoolers with your new snowblower.

  3. I'm going to have a go at the chub in my local river, which is relatively clear. However, we had some rain tonight which may have coloured it up a bit.

     

    I'm just wondering how this will affect fishing?

     

    Of course, it should make the fish less spooky, but will it put them off the feed also?

  4. skippy:

    Both E-bay and Paypal are infected with weird and wonderful viruses for make sure you have up to date guards before entering these sites!

    Just to clarify, these websites are not infected with viruses i.e. you can't catch a virus just by visiting these sites.

     

    But you should still have up to date anti virus.

  5. Ahh, the old pyramid scheme.

     

    The fact that it says:

     

    "Please do not delete this before reading it in full - it is not a scam and

    is

    not junk mail! - It actually works."

     

    Should alert you.
