We have a few wooded places around us, me and the brother in law often go collecting as we also make shillelaghs, shooting sticks and walking sticks, could be a smart idea to bring back some other bits to burn, although you have to be careful people around here get really pissed, why I don't know.

We knew it would be a couple of years of less than perfect living it happens when moving back to the other side of the world, getting married and new business AGH! so much in one year.

I am most pissed of having no garage that is painful more than the cold.

wait till some pikey cunt robs your oil and you have to fill it again..... and agree, oil is serious to run, i find the gas to be a tad cheaper, and our oil burner was tested to be running at 97% efficency when it was serviced...

LOL - our house is pretty safe and you need to be dedicated to get near the oil, she has a fair size thorn growing in front of her. I would prefer gas but that will have to wait until we buy, we will have to stick to paying our outrageous rent for a couple more years yet

I could get one of those wooden jobs from woodies think the owner would be cool with it but I am looking into renting a workspace I have a new project to strt soon that will need some space to develop it. Off to see a farmer up the road soon who has a shed to rent so that might be a go although does not fix freezing me nads off having a smoke.

I'm sure some of the guys could explain better but basically every computer is assigned an IP address by the service provider so that you can receive data, it can be used to directly identify where the computer is. If someone up to no good got hold of it they could infect the computer and others on the network.
With a VPN does is re-route all my traffic through a tunnel so when I'm connected to a server in France it appears that's where the computer is located.

From what I can tell its just the leftover from a trojan. Probibly part of a malware prob you had. They target that registry so that they can do a browser hijak or redirect. But it only affect IE not chrome/firefox. You are pretty well covered with IObit though. If you are bored you could run adwcleaner to see what happens.

It's not been running right for a week maybe at this stage but I don't recall any malware problems recently.
I had a bit of trouble with malware from a fake adobe update last year and although I allowed it through I had it sorted fairly quickly.
On my old laptop I was chasing cracked software and ended up with the Gardai Ukash scam, that was no fun.
It's Firefox I use mostly only use IE for some sites that don't work too well in FF, Chrome is very slow and cumbersome on my system and I just couldn't be bothered to investigate so I hardly ever use it.
I'll run the adware cleaner you suggest, thanks again.

Anyone got any experience with worm-farming? Gonna be starting in a few weeks and all tips welcome. Is 30e for a kilo of red-wrigglers good or bad?

It was careless on my part, usually I'm careful. I ran adw twice, it found a load of useless crap, seems like a good little programme. Still have issues so it could be hdd probs.

Cool. Its a nice light bit of software. If you are getting a load of niggly issues then maybe time to backup, flatten and reinstal. I tend to do that every 12 months with a windows machine. Although I am liking Windows 8, once its been whipped into submission.
